It’s awesome to have a mother and yearling take an interest in us by coming up to our boat and just floating there looking at us 3-feet away. We also had the youngster spy-hop a couple of times.

It looks like the Humpbacks are starting to come closer to shore. They’ve been between 8-13 miles out lately.

Unfortunately, the weather has been picking up quick in the early afternoon, making the going rough.
