I spent a lot of this year on boats. I really enjoyed it. I have perfected the art of propping myself snugly on railings of boats of all sizes, trying to take photographs of birds and whales. A tripod is useless on such a boat especially in the chaotic waves of the Monterey or San Francisco Bay.

In August this year, I was on a whale watching boat in Monterey. The captain heard on the radio that several humpbacks were breaching, quite far away. He floored it and I pointed my camera in that general direction, not even having seen the whale yet.

I got this photo of the whale AND a bird above it.
