While diving Woods Cove this past Saturday (~ 8am), we spotted what looked like a juvenile gray whale a mere 50 ft. in front of us. Sadly, we were just in the process of making the entry from shore; not yet swimming. Had we been 5-10 minutes earlier, we'd likely run right into him/her! :shocked2:
Where the younging surfaced briefly is approximately 20 ft. deep. Very shallow. I'm guessing s/he was herding fish to feed. We later saw a couple groups of fish in the area. Also guessing the mother was not far away at the time.
Just today I heard reports of other sightings of 2 gray whales on the same morning at Shaws Cove and Divers Cove (both just north of Woods).
Wasn't as cool as it could have been, but still cool none-the-less.
