Blue whale, humpback whales, tufted puffin

12/20/18:  Santa Cruz Whale Watching found a Blue Whale today! The giant was diving but we got some good looks. Then on the way back we found a couple Humpback Whales. We hung out with one for a bit. Christmas in Monterey Bay!

12/22/18:  4-5 Humpback whales surface feeding, close to Santa Cruz – tip of Soquel Canyon. Also saw a tufted puffin.

Tufted Puffins are faily rare in  Monterey Bay
