Whale Watching
We spent this morning on a motorized raft, chasing whales! Well not really chasing, more like trying to coerce them to come to us. We had several sightings, but sp
ent most of our time with a mother and her newborn. Our guide seemed very knowledgable, and explained that if we kept close to the young one, the mother would not be further than 10/12 feet below water. An adult needs only surface every 45 minutes for breathing purposes. So we had lots of baby sightings and a few of the mother, but getting pictures is another matter. In any event it was a georgeous morning weatherwise and we were glad we took time to go. Thanks for the prod Steph!
Marlene received her Lene Green Cleening Machine award yesterday during our final day of
work. We have a total of 796 hours of sweat labour and Marlene is very confused how I ended up with 3 hours more than her??
Tonight we are off to view Christmas lghts at the Ritz Carleton hotel. If time tomorrow I will post a few pictures.

I'm jealous of your whale watching excursion. Chad and I went twice when we went to the east coast and did not see a single thing. The boat captain offered to take us out a third time (for free) but having already spent six hours on the water with nothing to show for it, we declined.
Brad & I too are jealous of your whale experience...we have been East & West & did not have success either time in seeing a whale. I guess I'll have to tell him we need to go to Hawaii to see them!
