Wow! What an adventure we had! We took Alley, Preston and their girls as well as Robyn, Gavin and their kids out to look for whales today.
There was a light breeze when we left the marina but as we got out toward Hat Island the wind came up and it was so rough we decided to turn back. We try to go where the whale tour boat goes but even if we had been able to continue on, it looked like they were headed way north of Hat Island at about 14 knots so the whales must have been quite away out.
After we turned around we noticed a Coast Guard cutter watching us and getting ready to drop their inflatable to send a boarding party to pay us a visit. As intimidating as it was to have them board us for an inspection, they were so nice! As they left, I thanked them for their service and they said it was really nice to come aboard and have the people treat them nicely! Even though we didn't get out to the whales we had a great time and some stories to tell!
