We had an amazing day on the water! We cruised out to the west and caught up with a Fin whale! We hung out with it about 8-miles from shore! It actually was trending toward the coast! It gave us the slip for the first few breath cycles, but on our final looks, we got great looks! It surfaced for at least 7 times and we could see its lower white right jaw. They have an asymmetrical
lower jaw which makes it more efficient when feeding! We waved goodbye and enjoyed a nice smooth ride in!
We have one more trip to go! We will update you soon!
Our sunset trip was absolutely gorgeous!! We headed out west towards the drop off and encountered a massive pod of ~250 Long-beaked common dolphins! They were so spunky and fun to hang out with as they surfed along the Privateer! We went towards Point Loma in hopes to find a migrating Gray whale. Instead, we were treated with a spectacular sunset. More adventure awaits us tomorrow! Please join us on the water!
