Now this is strange. In the 7 or 8 years we've been coming down here, we've never seen whales even though our house is right on the beach. Last night, we, as well as 4 family members were dining at the Waterfront in Sosua. We were standing along the wall closest to the ocean, watching the sun set when we suddenly spotted another group of whales that appeared to be coming from the direction of the bay. Then, this morning at about 8:15 while eating breakfast, Mary spots a blow. I grabbed the binoculars and we ran out on the terrace and sure enough, there is a pod of whales swimming east from Cabarete. This has really been quite exciting.
Ken, we need to get together soon, it's been too long. I'll call you later in the week.
