4 humpbacks, 1 gray Whale, 15 bottlenose

We enjoyed a beautiful day in the channel with a light wind chop.

Our first whales of the day consisted of a pair of large adults. The whales were very lethargic at the surface, logging for long periods of time. These whales most likely had a big feed the day prior. FOOD COMA!

Our next humpback was another adult with scarring along its body. We managed to snag a picture of the whale with snow on the top of the Santa Ynez Mountains, a rare combo for Santa Barbara.

Soon we got looks at a juvenile southbound gray whale. The whale was on the thinner side but determined to join the rest of his kind in the warm water breeding lagoons.

We wrapped up a beautiful day in the channel watching the harbor seals come in from their morning feed.

Until Next Time,
