"These go to eleven"Meghan and I have reservations this weekend to take a whale-watching tour from Seward, AK. Although we have eight inches of fresh snow on the ground this morning and several more inches in the forecast, we're hoping for clear skies on Saturday when we steam out of Resurrection Bay to catch a glimpse of migrating gray whales on their way to the Bering Sea for the summer. The migration route is long and treacherous. Grays are a common sight from the surf beach in Kodiak, where many stay during the entire summer. At times, one could look out on the horizon and see an uncountable number of the gray's low bushy white spouts.
