Humpback whales are making quite a splash

Apparently humped back whales are very common in Santa Cruz, California. However five days ago, there was a huge family of whales not that far off the coast. Not only was a it a bunch of whales, but these whales were hungry and active. They kept splashing up. I was just thinking how great it would be to watch these whales. I have seen dolphins before in our gulf and that was a fantastic experience. But I think seeing a 800 000 pounds whale would be much better. But I have to keep in mind as the report says:

"Being that close to an 80,000-pound whale when it’s coming up and looking for food isn’t safe," she said. "When these surfers and kayakers are so close, it definitely poses a danger to the whale and those in the water."
