Naturalist...

Joan just got home from her first day at work.  After training in the office for a few hours, she went out to train on the bigger boat (Sea Lion)... and they had a spectacular day of whale watching, seeing member of J, K, & L pods!  All sorts of behavior (spy-hopping, lobtailling, pectoral slapping, breaching), and even some calves wrestling with one another.  They lowered the hydrophone to listen in.

Yeah, it sounds like I missed the best day of whale watching so far, but Joan got a great introduction to the naturalist's job on the boat!

I did manage to get one shot of her while they were prepping the boat...



My little bread-winner.

I initially read "naturist" and was wondering what kind of cruises they're running out there! Naturalist makes Sooooo much more sense.

Ah, yes, the difference between naturalist and naturist... perfect for one, a bit brisk for the other here. ;-)
