When someone in Sitka, Alaska invites you to go out on a boat, you always say YES.

It’s Pacific herring season and the whales are here for it!

I was invited out yesterday and saw thirty whales, in three hours.

I learned to wait for the puff of white smoke and then get my camera ready.

Everyone wants that great tail shot, but these were fine with me!

I had a whale of a good time! —GGT
