Hello whalewatchers,
Our weather is what we dream about for all our trips–glassy calm and no swell!

Since we were seeing plenty of whales we decided to stop and try the hydrophone and the whales were singing. It was very loud, like they were close by and who knows how many whales were singing. What a treat to hear them and see them.
