Last weekend Rod and I left the 98 degree summer in Utah to a balmy 68 degree sunny San Diego. While there I filled another bucket list or two. I sailed on a masted sail boat the America and I saw a blue whale-- the LARGEST mammal ever! It was a sunset cruise and it was awesome!
This is America's sister ship "The California". It offers a short harbor tour. Our ship had two masts. The California had two masts and cross masts.
Guess what Rod is discussing with his fellow ship matey? Yup..... cameras, lenses, exposure.......!!
This is how the whale takes in food. See the little hairs? It uses those to brush them into their mouths. This sample felt like fiberglass but it is real whale.
This little one stayed safe the whole time by taking a nap in the "hot tub" right under the captain's wheel
