Hi Lisa! From what I understand, you're in a perfect location for the gray whale migration. I'm a little south of you in Northern California, and have heard that the Monterey Bay is another good place for whale watching. Unfortunately, the closest I've ever gotten is a seal lion, and that probably doesn't count. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I did spot a humpback whale off the coast of Maui a few years ago.
