Today’s trivia is just fun-fun-fun. Son in Port Angeles took me on a whale watching cruise and yes, we did spot some humped backs of the animals. But the quips of the 22-ish captain were great. We saw a bunch of basking harbor seals on the end of Ediz Hook…… “those are orca bon-bons.” Later, “Whale watching is a lot of whale waiting but it’s whale worth it.”
Much later with few sightings, they rolled out the big ones. “Why did the whale cross the sound? To get to the other tide.” And “Did you hear about the whale that ate Seattle? It’s a whale of a tale.” Ouch, eh?
But yes, these Puget Sound whale watching trips guarantee that you’ll see whales or you can come again for free until you do.
