Humpback Whales Breaching close to Santa Cruz Harbor!

October 21^st: 6 Humpback Whales, including “Fallon” and CRC-16040! Unfortunately, CRC-16040 had an entanglement around its right pectoral fin (first photo), we let the local whale entanglement team know! There were also acrobatic Sea Lions and a sleepy Harbor Seal.

October 19^th: We saw 3 Humpback Whales total (and only had to go a few miles from the Santa Cruz Harbor) and all 3 breached multiple times! We also witnessed a synchronized double breach, unfortunately, the camera could only get one whale in the frame! But it was so exciting for our passengers to witness such a moment from this pair of Humpback Whales!  We also saw California Sea Lions and Southern Sea Otters!
