Photos from Nov 20 & 21

With mighty 'Mallard' at the helm of the Zodiac we headed west on the1pm sailing. In the brisk weather we were bundled up well and our search led us to the illusive humpback whale, affectionately called 'Cleaver'. It just happens to have split dorsal fin, perhaps from a boat/ship encounter in the past. It surprised us by breaching a couple of times when we came upon it, both of which I missed from a photographers point of view. The cold weather had other marine mammals and birds actively looking for food. An actobatic sea lion at Race Rocks entertained us with summer saults while Bald Eagles hunted along the shore line. It was another cold but magical day out on the water.
