It's raining, it's pouring, the whales are migrating?

The week between Christmas & New Year's is whale watching week here on the coast. We went out today to see if we could see some whales. There is an observatory building out at Shoreacres & since it was raining, we went there. Unfortunately, due to the weather, visibility out at sea wasn't great. We might've seen a couple of spouts, but it was really hard to tell.
We did see some sea lions, but Michelle wasn't quick enough to catch them with the camera. We're hoping that the weather clears up & then we'll try again to see some whales.

It didn't matter which way out you looked, there just wasn't much to see.

But even in the rain the ocean is pretty. There were some sea lions playing out by these rocks, but they were camera shy & kept diving.

The water really wasn't that rough, so if the weather had been better we'd probably been able to see some whales, or at least some spouts. Doug is really hoping to see some breach. I'll let you know if we get another chance.
