Another wonderful experience for guests on board the 3:30 Ocean Magic today. Chilly but always an adventure to be remembered. The female (I think) humbpack whale was tail bashing the ocean surface then scooping up large mouth fulls of food. She would lay on her side and heave her long 15 foot or so pectoral fin high into the air before her feed along the surface with mouth gaping wide (see yesterdays blog). We ventured to Race Rocks ecological reserve where there was a group of sealions present. Only the males show up in the area and by September it's a huge sealion party out there. They are usually sleeping on rocks, swimming, eating of fighting for rock realestate :)
