| - | For those of you who don't know...Bellingham Rough Water Racers this morning were treated to a whale sighting right off the Fairhaven launch about an hour before race start. Big whale. Some were saying Humpback. I know that some of you were able to get a few pictures. Do you mind posting them here, or sending them to me? I have some friends who are whale experts and maybe we can get a confirmation. Otherwise, I'll leave it to others to tell race tales. I'll just say that it was a great race all around. Thanks Kevin, Peter and all volunteers. Thanks Pete W. and Lance for making me puke. | + | For those of you who don't know…Bellingham Rough Water Racers this morning were treated to a whale sighting right off the Fairhaven launch about an hour before race start.

| A Minke has a very pronounced dorsal fin with a curve similar to Pacific White-sided Dolphins and is quite a bit smaller than a Humpy.\\ | A Minke has a very pronounced dorsal fin with a curve similar to Pacific White-sided Dolphins and is quite a bit smaller than a Humpy.\\ | ||
