I had to ask friends on facebook and they pointed me in the right direction. what a thrill! It must have been equally thrilling to see all of those shearwaters but the whale spinning must have been most amazing of all! Thanks for all the great tips and the views!Kathie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377224759599266209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-50205424581805188792013-08-06T10:27:27.535-06:002013-08-06T10:27:27.535-06:00Sounds like you had a marvelous trip with terrific...Sounds like you had a marvelous trip with terrific sightings ... marine and avian.
