The Fibers annual whale watching trip with Olive Crest was on March 7,2012. The Fibers had 68 guest with us this year,along with five Fibers. We were on the Nautilus this year, a great whale watching board, with Captain Robby at the helm We loaded the boat as we finished the manifest. Before we even cleared the jetty we could see a bird school and breaking porpoise just outside the harbor. The porpoise were shattered and not stay with us. Captain Robby turned the boat south down the coast. After about 15 minutes he spotted two whale spouts about a half mile in front of us. The whales were traveling north,we were able to parallel them and watch them swim north almost 45 minutes. Heading back to the harbor we did have porpoise playing along side the boat, to the enjoyment of all on board. Our final stop was at the bell buoy to watch the sea lions. It was a cool but sunny day with only a slit breeze,a good time was had by all. Thanks to the Fibers that helped out on the trip, Ken, Rick, Bruce and LIbby.
