HUMPETY HUMP

Last weekend we went to a nearby "beach" to look at the humpbacks who are feeding in the area. Apparently killer whales had visited earlier in the week as well. The strong wind had us freezing to pieces despite good gear, but in better conditions there are quite a few kayaks in the area attempting close encounters. Looking at the sprays from the whales under the pale moon (no daylight this time of year) I was reminded of how far north we do live.
