Of interest is that I saw multiple whale spouts. Verified on the beach later that there are whales in the Bay. Word on the beach also advised avoiding the "mist" (bad breath).
Had high hopes today, probably why I was let down
Should have gone winging but really wanted to get one last windsurfing session in before summer. The highlight though was seeing the whale. I blew my first jibe and while getting ready to water start I saw some small fish come jumping out of the water, usually a sign something bigger is around, sure enough as soon as I got up on my board the whale came up next to me about 20 meters away. I could see him looking right at me, super cool! I think it was a young grey whale as it wasn't too big. Mom was probably around though.
