A Sea Lion, Two Ships, and a Bunch of Dolphins
First post on my new blog and of the new year. After seeing reports online and tv about the different species of whales that are being spotted along our coast in the last four weeks, I decided it would be a fun little adventure for Ashley and I to go whale watching. I was hoping for a bit of luck on this trip and it started off entertaining. Before we even pushed off we spotted one of the harbor residents, a sea lion, posing for the crowd.
Outside the break water we spotted only one grey whale on the way back into the harbor. We did get to see a lot of bottle nose dolphins which I have never seen before on a whale watching trip. Usually we only see a bunch of the pacific common dolphin.
We also saw the ship that was used in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The ship went by the name of The Interceptor in the movie. The ship in the foreground is the Interceptor from the Pirates film franchise but its real name is the Lady Washington. The other ship is the Hawaiian Chieftain.
To see more images from this adventure check out Newport Beach Whale Watching (01/07/12) on my smugmug page.
