waiting for whales.

It was overcast today, and was perfect for whale watching...or at least that is what they told us. I should have remembered that one time when Paul and I took a boat in San Fransisco to see Alactraz, and we both ended up sick...and our only reprieve was falling asleep on said boat.  We were on the boat for 3 hours today, and I didn't actually get sick until well over half way through.  Go me!

We didn't have any luck seeing a whale, but I thought the dolphins were super cool.  The captain said that the dolphins are more fun to watch, because the whales go 10-15 minutes between coming to the surface for air.  They call it whale waiting, not whale watching.

(Paul obviously was not whale watching...hello Von's boobies!)

This is what our boat looked like...the pictures will make more sense if you can see what I am talking about.

Riding on the net was so fun.  You don't realize how many dolphins are swimming with the boat until you can see them all under you.  There was easily 50+ dolphins.  It was ridiculously cool, and worth getting wet for!

 this is the view looking down on the net...

The crawl space made me a little claustrophobic, but Van was a perfect fit down there.  You are actually under the water in windows from top to bottom.  Van was on her stomach pretending to swim right along with them.  I wish I would have taken my camera down there with me. 

I wasn't disappointed by not seeing a whale, it was still a really fun experience.  One I won't forget...and it was nice break from walking.

We ended up going to Bubba Gump's for shrimp, of course.  I came back to the cabin, while Paul took Van to the movies.  I am pooped.  Pray Vin sleeps well tonight, because I need it.
