Whale Watching

Saturday we went whale watching (again, off Kona). We went out on a boat called "Sea Smoke" that was built for James Arness (Marshall Dillon of Gunsmoke) and raced successfully between California and Hawaii.

It was a windy, rough day; lots of chop on the water. For about two hours I had to hang onto the rail at the front of the boat with one hand while hanging onto my camera and trying to take pictures with the other. Since I am fortunate enough not to be bothered by seasickness, this was both fun, and very good exercise.

I got 6 or 7 good shots. Opportunities happen quickly and disappear fast. I saw much more than I could catch on film.
