Having heard this year was a particularly fruitful one for whale watchers at California’s Moss Landing, Andrew and his girlfriend decided to make the trip. There, they were delighted to encounter more than forty whales, along with several dolphins, sea otters and sea birds. Just as they were coming to the end of the tour, the crowning moment took place. Five humpbacks breached in succession, slapping their fins as they splashed in the water. Credit: YouTube/Andrew Wang
