On the best weather day of the week, Space Cowgirl and I decided to book a 3-hour whale watching expedition. As neither of us has ever been on a whale watch, our expectations were extremely low. In my mind, I was going to enjoy a nice boat ride on the water on a great day, and maybe I would see a tail fin a couple of miles away.
As is shown in this first video below, not only did we encounter several whales, but they were curious enough to hang out with us right next to the boat!

Not to be outdone by our initial graceful visitors, another group decided to check us out, followed by a flipper slapping dance (similar, but unrelated to the fish slapping dance)!
