Swimming with a whale

Yes, you read that right. I finally got the experience of swimming in the Sound knowing there was a whale nearby.  I was getting ready to swim with the Notorious Alki Swimmers, when we spotted a whale just off shore.  After watching for a while, the blows were seen again.  Our best guess is a Gray Whale.

I still hope to someday see a whale while I'm IN the water.  But this will do for now!!

Here's the gang that can say they've swum with a whale!
