Whale Watching Trip to San Diego
We took a whale watching trip with our great friends Paul and Cheryl. Went to the harbor and boarded the "Hornblower". This was a better boat as it had a closed cabin in case the weather was bad. Glad we went that route as the air was a bit nippy, windy and the sea mist was quite chilly (I know, we're wusses). The trip was about 3.5 hours long, and we had 3 Naturalists from the museum that were experts on whales. The shared a lot of info about the life and times of whales. Very interesting indeed. We went out about 9 miles from the bay and waited to see blows, etc. We finally saw a few, but I was a bit slow with the camera and didn't get many photos. Seems like they are always on the other side of the boat! I saw one tail and it was neat to say the least. The whale tail photo you see in the slideshow was not one we saw in San Diego, but one Cheryl took in Alaska!!! Like they say, never let the truth get in the way of a good story!!!
We had a great time and really glad we went! If you get a chance to go on a tour like this, go for it!!!

We've been on a couple whale watching tours. They can be great but theres always the risk of not seeing them.
The nice thing about the tour we took, they guarantee you'll see a whale or they'll give you a comp tour for a year. Tom
I'm too much of a land lubber to risk having a whale surface under my boat.
