Post 2 of 2: This young whale, locally known as Zip, has been through a lot. If you look carefully at the fluke in the third pic, you'll see rake marks from an orca attack. And that's not even how they got their name!🦑

September on the Monterey Bay made a splash with calm seas, active whales and purple-striped jellies. Love spending days on #highspirits learning about the creatures of our amazing sanctuary.🦑

October surprise! Today a Jimmy, CA50B, cruised into the bay and chilled. Our transient (Bigg's) killer whales can travel up to a hundred miles a day so it was a rare opportunity to see this guy in slow mode.🦑

Hung out with these two on Sunday! Our nutrient-rich Monterey Bay is welcoming dozens and dozens of humpbacks.

The other Risso’s Dolphins were content to swim. But this one wanted to FLY. 🦑

No two trips are ever the same. When we leave the harbor anything is possible.

Pacific white-sided dolphins frolicking alongside the boat on the Monterey Bay. These swift, graceful creatures often bow ride and if you're lucky (and quiet) you can hear their sounds.
