    +Sophie Melich A couple of years ago I was on vacation in Alaska and took a boat tour around Sitka.  This was just a little boat that could hold maybe 5 or 8 people and dozens of humpback and gray whales came right up to the boat.  It was awe inspiring.

    I got some pictures of them in this album: https://plus.google.com/photos/+DustinWyatt/albums/5624856108950122129
