Whale of a Tail

On friday I spent the night on my friend, Angela's, boat. There were 7 of us and we all woke up at 5am and sailed out to the Farallon Island, 30 miles off the coast, where we got to see about 12 whales on their migration north. Two of them were so close to the boat we had to turn it to get out of their way. The closest one was 20 to 25 feet away. I don't have any pictures to prove it because I forgot my camera, but it really did happen.
