Whale Watching with Deception Pass Tours

Yesterday I went on the Deception Pass Whale Watching Tour. I had a great time.
We were told to watch for the characteristic heart shaped spray. We first saw them around Hat Island (Gedney Island).
Yes, definitely a whale.
We saw two grays. One was thought to be Patches, named because of his scars from an altercation with Orcas.
It was a great trip. We followed the whales for a while as they moved north. 
We made it back to Oak Harbor safe and sound. The Island Whaler has speeds up to 30 miles per hour. We were able to get to the whales' location quickly and spend quite a bit of time watching them.
