Here’s Stan, from Stan Cook Sea Kayak Adventures, with a beautiful story about a woman’s lifelong dream to see a leviathan up close and personal.

Around here, big fish stories are as much a part of our culture as the ocean itself. 22 species of whales wander the waters off our shores each and every year. Over 10,000 humpbacks visit us every summer – you can see them from land, by tour boat, Zodiac, or kayak if you’d like. However you choose to view them, chances are you’ll never forget it.
