A great season with the most whales I have ever encountered!

What a wonderful season it has been.
I have seen and been close to so many whales this year that it made my heart sing.
It really is wonderful to be so close to such gentle giants.
Someone asked me if I ever get afraid when they come near me.
I respond with, I think they are more afraid of me than I of them.
Proper caution has to be exercised but the reality is they dont really care about us and generally, dont want anything to do with us minus maybe a little bit of curiousity.
I love my time on the water and appreciate my engagements with them.
Thank you to all the whales.
Have a great winter and cant wait to see you next summer.
Safe travels.

Ps if you look closely to the photo you can see a whale in the distance.
