It was pretty frustrating – nice day for a snorkel cruise, good conditions, nice boat (the Ocean Voyager) with Pacific Whale Foundation.

Which, perhaps due to our high rate of speed and high engine noise, generally dove as we approached rather than hanging around on the surface. I did get some decent shots that will be useful for identifying individuals – they’ll…
