Looking Over Work Before We Started the Boat Trip
Today we got an extremely early start. We were dressed and ready to go by 7:20 a.m. We went out on the Four Winds boat again to take Whale ID pictures. Unfortunatly we didn't see as many whales. We encountered a mother and calf pair and the calf was getting really excited and started breaching like crazy. Breaching is when the whale throws its whole body out of the water. Sometimes it looks like a skipping rock because it breaches a couple times in a row. But all the whales were swimming away from us so we started to speak whale "COomme BaaAckk," and they did =).

Afterwards we went into a photo booth and took some sweet pics. Then we jammed out all the way home and worked out our abs, by laughing. Then we called it a night. WE love WE.
