Whale Watching

Embedded image permalinkWhale Watch
On the whale watch field trip yesterday we saw so many whales. It took so long to get out there to actually see whales. I didn't think we would end up seeing any at all. Once we finally got 26 miles out into the ocean we saw so many whales! We saw a lot of whales logging in the water. We saw about 30 whales. We saw one fin whale on the way out to the whales and we saw a couple more fin whales on out there too. A lot of the whales made bubble rings. A bubble ring is when the whales put a bunch of fish in a ring. The bubbles make an actual ring and the fish cant get out, then one whale come up and eats all of the fish then all of the other whales pop up out of the water. It was also cool to see that when we looked down we could see schools of fish swimming around the boat. The whales were all so big, they would slap there fins on the water and it made a cool noise. I also liked the blow holes. I thought it was neat how they can spray the remaining water out of their holes. That was my first whale watch and it was awesome to see so many whales at once.
