There be Whales

This was truly amazing.  We killed the engine and just bobbed in the water, not wanting the propeller to hurt any of them.  The whales (Humpbacks, we have since found out) stayed with us for at least two hours, coming quite close to check out Spartan's hull.  It was right at dusk, so the light wasn't great for pictures.  Also, I had too much zoom on the lens, they were much closer than I ever expected.  Wished I'd thought to use the video capability of the camera.
