I got a tip from my boss that she saw baluga whales coming into town early this week. I remembered that the one and only time I've seen them was around Labor Day and I thought... maybe we should try to see them. My boss suggested we go at high tide since that's when she saw them.
My sister and I went home and looked at the tide tables and decided to go last night to try and whale watch. John, my sister and a friend and I loaded up and headed down the Turnagain Arm. We pulled over where one car was with binoculars...but couldn't really see anything. Looking down the highway we could see a bunch of people pulled off so we headed down there.
Sure enough - there they were. we stood watching the whales for about an hour. We didn't see a ton of them, and at one time we saw about 6 of them swim by one right after the other, but mostly it was looking for them a little further out.
Very cool - and well worth the trip!

Awesome!! How neat that your sister was able to see Baluga's. You sure do live an exciting life between whales and scary men on your way to work.
It was so great! Thanks for the whale sighting experience!
