Whales Again?

Today we invited Al and Sharon to go out with us to look for whales before the grays move on from Puget Sound. Last year when we took them out we had the best whale show imaginable. We felt we had spoiled them last year but thought that if we were lucky, we might see one or two. We aren't sure if it is Sharon's "lucky" shirt (she happened to wear the same one as last year) or the fact that Al was in the navy but we saw the best whale show since last time they went with us! We idled for 2 hours and watched three grays swim all around us. They were fairly close and we could hear them as they blew spouts and repeatedly surfaced enough that we could see them quite well. It was so much fun!
