Blue Whale Escort

Not too long ago I was sailing with Captain Dave off Newport Beach, California and brushing up on some of my sailing skills and we were lucky enough to be escorted on our Southbound trip  by a Blue Whale who was headed to warmer waters.  Captain Dave initially thought it was a Humpback but upon closer inspection it looks like a Blue.  Any of you whale experts out there who see things differently leave a comment…we’re open ears.
