We had a spectacular day of whale watching. One of our youngest passengers, a 12-year-old boy, told his he hated to go home! As we headed out to the 9-mile bank we came across several pods of dolphins, both common and bottlenose. A few passengers were the first to spot the blows of two blue whales in the distance.  We came alongside of them and they stayed with us for quite a while. On the way back we saw a mola mola just sunning himself. Heard on the deck: “It was a glorious day.” “It was a wonderful trip.” “It was a breath-taking experience.” “I’m going to recommend this to friends.”
