Whales
so we finally got on the water this week. so far i have seen more breaching and surface activity than i had throughout my entire life. the whales are pretty much everywhere and the season hasn't even really begun yet. the best part is when we take swimming breaks throughout the day. when you dive under, you can hear the whales singing. its just absolutely amazing! our research permit allows us to approach the whales to within 15ft, so we get incredible close and see some awesome behaviors. the problem is, i haven't been taking my camera on the boat since its this small 20ft boat and everything can get wet. so no pictures to share right now. also, all pictures i take on the boat with my camera or theirs, becomes property of the dolphin institute. I'll try and bring my camera out this week and see if i cant get a few good photos to post. i cant even imagine what it will be like when we hit the busy months (February and march). so until i get some whale photos, here's a hawaiian sunset.

hi. this is your comment-on-every-post brother. but whatever. so...um...i think i should come back. can i swim with whales?! i sat in an office today. jealous?
you cant actually swim with whales, but you can sometimes hear the blows while we're swimming and hear the whales singing under water. i'll be in the office tomorrow matching fluke photos and trying to stay awake.
