Gray Whales!

March 24th: I SEE YOU! 3 Gray Whales up close (5 in the area), California Sea Lions and Southern Sea Otters! 2 of the Gray Whales were rolling around and spy-hopping for us! Check out the Gray Whale’s open eye in the first two photos (usually when they surface their eyes are closed, so this was very unique)!
