Finally, only one more day to go! It is a beautiful day too. The sun is shining and outside you can see the snow-capped Cascade mountains in the distance. But we are busy below decks in the lab, packing our things and getting ready to go home. Suddenly the watch on the bridge calls down "Whales!!!"

We scramble out of the lab to an upper deck to take a look. Whales all right, humpback whales! There must be 15 of them! we are very happy to see them, since humpback whales came very close to being completely killed off by human beings and they are still endangered.
