June 26 - Humpack Whale Spotting in Monterrey Bay last week

2 Weekends ago some friends and I rented a 46 Ft Beneteau sailboat in Santa Cruz. We had a GPS with us so we mapped out our farthest point. What was a big surprise were all the Humpack whales we saw. The calm bay allowed us not only to hear the whales surface, but we smelled their lovely breaths and saw a few even breech. It was surreal and spectacular.
Out on a rented 46" Beneteau, we wound up seeing close to 100 whales.
Our coordinates:
36.8676,-122.0618 - Google Maps
