Captain Tasha took the Condor Express up and down the coast at noon today and ended up with some great looks at 2 gray whales. It was a mother gray whale with her very young calf, as it generally is this time of year. The pair stopped right out front of the 1,000 steps beach and remained there for quite a while and put on a bit of a show. My best guess is that the calf went through a couple of attempts to nurse with mom. It rolled around a lot, laid on its side next to mom, gave off a couple of large underwater bubble-blasts, did some head-lifts and spy-hopped. It was an epic cow-calf sighting.

(By the way, our gray whale season ends Sunday, and starting Monday we’re back to deeper water, whales, dolphins and a visit to the Channel Islands if conditions permit).
