21 August 2007: Family field trip to watch the blue whale.
We found her filter feeding along a trench outside Long Beach harbor. A member of the biggest animals ever club, Tallulah did not fail to impress.
She would evacuate her blog hole, roll a chorus line of vertebrae above the water, and then expose her diminutive dorsal fin (located 3/4 along the length of her body) before diving to feed. Repeat. It was plenty to see.
She would stay under for 7 minutes, leaving me free to sing sailing songs. My favorite treat was seeing her flukes underwater glowing blue-white.
