Thanks for confirming my answer Tess, but please remember there are MANY species of whales, dolphin and porpoise in this part of the Pacific, so just because you see a whale does not make it a Humpback and all dolphins are not "Flipper" type bottlenose's...

You are right, of course, I was just going on the info of the above project that I have been following. I am from the land of grey whales. My parents had a house on the ocean in the Monterey Bay in California and watching whales has always been an important part of my life.

PS cool poster

Two guys jumped into a kayak and paddled out to see them. I got to see their pictures and video when they returned. It was a momma and baby. I was frightened for the kayakers since there would be very little proctection if they breached in the wrong direction.

I'm pretty sure they are humpback whales; but some of the troops think they are grey whales. I'm sure some of you guys on the board know what's what and I'd appreciate your views.
