   Was sailing down the coast from Pillar Pt on Saturday.  Weather sucked,,, but we encountered this whale breaching every 15 seconds! .    Check out the last one at the end.

That was incredible!
Pause the very end to gain a real perspective to how close it was.

Nice. Huge concentrations of them the last few weeks outside the harbor and up to Pedro. Lotsa mother calf pairs.

     I'm sure there must be others...   We were watching it long before started video.   

    Every 15 seconds,,   It must have been practicing leaps.    :smt005
