Returning from the island recently, we literally ran into a pod of whales making their way north. About three miles out from Dana Point, one behemoth unexpectedly surfaced directly in front of us about a boat-length away. I made a quick hard turn to starboard to avoid him, only to see another whale straight ahead. Another quick hard turn, this time to the port side, got us through the slalom course. Threading the needle, we were very lucky to weave our way unscathed.
As we continued on, we saw several other groups of spouting whales plus a breaching whale which is uncommon in our waters. The migration is in high gear and it's a treat to see.
