Cora's Whale Watch

 I went on a whale watch with my Grandpa and Grandma last Saturday.

We saw so many animals. 9 animals!
Last time I only saw dolphins and seals. Well I will tell you what I saw on the whale watch.

We saw 2 baby great white sharks. One we only saw it's shadow but the next we saw the whole body. It was very big!!!
I was not scared but glad to be in a boat! 

I also saw a oil tanker out to sea I even took a picture of it.

Look how small the boat is next to the oil tanker!

Oil tankers get oil from the bottom of the sea.

 Next we saw dolphins leaping up and out of the water. One even swam under the boat!

The water was so clear so I got to see the dolphins swimming under the water!
It was so cool.

This is were we saw all of the animals, sharks and all. we also saw sea lions,seals,and some different kinds of sea birds
pelicans,seagulls,even baby ducks!

I also put my hand out to catch the water that was at the side of the boat spraying up out of the water.










We saw 9  whales! We saw their fins and we also saw their spouts. One was so close to our boat that we saw the body!  The waves were so clear, and one swam under water and then jumped back up! One was really, really close to a little boat that was next to us, but we had to stay 10 yards away. I wanted to be a little bit closer.

There were lots of mountains behind, so it made a pretty scene with the whales jumping up. We saw the barnacles sticking to the whales when they were close to the boat. We also got to the islands out to sea. Last time, we got to go all the way around them, but this time we went halfway. We also saw caves in the rocks at the islands. The way the water sprayed out of the rocks was so cool.
The whale watch took three hours - two hours to go, one hour to get back.
