Last weekend we, not the same group one was too disenchanted, schleped our way back to Newport Beach to see the whales.(On a side note, I heard that if Newport flooded all the women in town would be safe because of all of the surgically implanted flotation devices.)
This time we got on the boat and did in fact see a whale. Not just any whale, but the Fin Back Whale, the second largest whale on earth. It can weigh up to 80 tons and can be equally as long. They also can swim as fast as 23 miles, so our boat had a hard time keeping up. We stalked it for a good 45 minutes before having to turn back and go home.
It was so nice to sit on a boat in the middle of the ocean for two an a half hours and relax, laugh, and just be tourists. Strangely one of the girls in our group who schleped both time is originally from West St. Paul.
Small ocean I guess.
