I had just come back from the typical Dot island, Governors Pt. paddle and was seriously outnumber by OC-1's, Like, 8 to 2??? I had already loaded my boat when I noticed some whale watching boats and pleasure boats were all hovering about a mile past the Post Pt. Buoy. Don,Tom and others caught wind of the action and headed out their. |

I pretty much have grown up here and can remember only one other time they came into the bay and it was only around Eliza. Pretty Cool……Peter |

Kinda like visiting royalty or something. | ||
