The whales are back!

Even to those who have lived here all their lives, the return of the whales every winter is an exciting part of life that is anxiously awaited. And they are here! The first sighting was back in November, but we went out on the dive boat on January 2nd (the first day everyone - Bruce, Laurie, and Scott had the same day off) and we were treated to a "whale" of a show. Taking their picture is a little tricky, but I did manage to get one classic tale picture and while we were going from the first to the second dive site, a pod of dolphins came to play. Also included is a picture of Bruce's new fins (he got them for Christmas). They are almost as long as he is. He says he can chase stray divers better this way. (Some people just wander off down there). I'm planning to turn the whale and dolphin pictures into paintings. We'll keep you posted!
