Whale Watching Trip

On August 1st we moved north to Lincoln City.  We are staying at the Logan Road RV Park that is close to the Chinook Winds Casino.
On Monday we scheduled a trip out of Depoe Bay to go whale watching.  Wayne has been wanting to eat at the Sea Hag but this picture is a close as we have gotten.

We booked a one and a half hour Zodiac trip.  I’m already seated on the boat and the captain is helping April get on.

We only went out about five minutes before we spotted out first spout.  Unfortunately we didn’t get a picture of that whale as it was too close to the boat and popped up before we could get out camera’s ready.
This whale popped up right in front of another whale watching boat.

It is the dark spot in front of the boat.  You can see how close they were to the shore.

Here is a whale with the residual spray from the spout behind him.
