I recently went whale watching in
Monterey Bay on the
Sea Wolf II. During the trip we saw
grey whales and five
killer whales finishing off a
sea lion for a meal. We saw the grey whales from about a quarter mile a way. The killer whales were a lot more social (killer whales belong to the dolphin family) they were
tail slapping, breaching, spyhopping and basically putting on a great show. It was as if the killer whales were celebrating their meal. The tour operators kept us out for an additional hour because they said it was a once in a lifetime show.
