Our trip started out from our cruise ship raining sideways but that wasn't going to keep us from seeing a whale. Once we arrived at our boat, the sun came thru the clouds and was sunny the entire 3 hours on the water. Our first sighting was 8 orcas playing in the water with one that even breached. They even came close to our boat. Next were the sea lions sunbathing on the rocks. Russel, our guide, then took us to see the whale he promised. HE DELIVERED. We watched for nearly 45 minutes as the whale lazilly came up and down in the water with the final act of of showing his tail as he submerged. Once back on land, the rain came again but not once did we get wet. GREAT TRIP!!
