In August of 2007 I helped deliver a vessel that our company built for the Forest Service from Sitka to King Salmon. On that trip we saw four different species of whales. The video clip is some footage that I took of a pod of Fin Whales the day we left Kodiak Island and headed up the Aleutian Chain. Fin Whales are the second largest whale on the planet.

The first time I encountered Fin Whales was when we came upon two Fin Whales a couple of miles out from Wildwood, New Jersey when I was delivering a vessel that the company I worked for built for New York Waterway in 2002. The next encounter was when a single Fin visited Sitka Sound in 2006. This is a photo that I took of that whale.

I never tire of watching whales. My first encounter was when I was about 6 years old. In the first picture you can see me standing with my Mom on the Whale Watching vessel out of San Francisco. We were watching Gray Whales. In the third photo you can see a blow. My parents gave me my love of the sea because of all the many experiences I had in my youth.
I believe that the Creator loves whales because of the way that He highlights them in Genesis, The Book of Moses, and The Book of Abraham.
Fin Whales are found in all of the oceans of the world.
Fin Whales are a part of HIS wonders of the deep . . .
