Whale Watching around the Channel Islands



Today we took a fun, but cold, whale watching expedition around the Channel Islands (called the Galapagos Islands of the United States). This time of the year Gray Whales are migrating through these waters, but today we saw two Humpback Whales instead. The Humpbacks should not travel through here until May at the earliest! The most amazing part of today was we travelled through a pod of Dolphins that included thousands of the friendly mammals! It brought tears to my eyes to see them. I honestly imagined this is what it will look like when Christ returns...all the animals excitedly hurrying toward the returned Savior. I think you had to be there to understand. It was awesome.
