Greetings from Mrs Capt Dave
When we first started whale watching in 1995, the fishing companies took folks out only during the Gray Whale Migration, typically between December and April, on their fishing boats. We offered our whale watching trips on our sailboat, and equipped it with an underwater hydrophone and soon, an underwater camera.
