Some SF Bay Whale Watching passengers are visiting San Francisco on their honeymoon. Business people often stay on over the weekend after their meetings and trade shows and come aboard to unwind. Lots of people come to the area to celebrate graduations, weddings, reunions, and then suggest another outing while in town. Gracious hosts like to wow their special out-of-town guests. And some locals finally get around to it. “Let’s go see a whale!”
Alice Tobin falls into a special category of SF Bay Whale Watching passengers. Alice, intrepid traveler from North Carolina, is collecting experiences around the globe. She stopped here hoping to see and photograph a whale.
It turned out to be a great day at sea. From Alice: “Hi, all, I had such a great time. I'm still on cloud 9. Most people go whale watching in hopes of seeing a whale. We saw a gray and several humpbacks, plus the dolphins, sea lions, puffins ...etc. Nice meeting all of you. hugs, Alice” Hmm...five or six Humpback Whales at 90,000 pounds each, one Gray Whale at 80,000 pounds, hundreds of California and Steller Sea Lions, a large mixed group of dolphins, Tufted Puffins, tens of thousands of sea birds at the Farallon Islands... I think Alice had an adventure all right. Thank you for sharing your whale photos Alice, and your experience.
The marine wildlife is abundant, the scenery is magnificent, and your fellow passengers are always interesting. Come experience and share an SF Bay Whale Watching adventure!

This just made my day that much brighter. Thanks a million. Something else I stumbled across was this www.whales.org.za . Take a look!
Keep up the great work!
Uff, I never get tired of this. I've already said that your site is great, so I won't repeat again that your site is great, although your site is great. The only thing I don't like about it is that I haven't been there - yet. In the meantime I enjoy your words and photos. Thanks a lot1
What a wonderful explosion of sea life. One question, any sharks over there?.
