A mom, calf and excort had swam past me and I figured they were long gone. A few minutes later though, the calf

surfaced not far from me and was headed my way when it dove. I got in the water to see if I could spot any whales

and they were all deep below me. First the calf came up followed by its mother. The escort remained deep.

I was later joined by some friends who were out on their kayak and we paddled north where we saw a

competition pod active around some other boaters.
