Whales

Today, Connor and I had to get up at 7:00 AM so we could eat and get ready to go the the Food Web Cruise. Dad got up after us.
We were a little late leaving the house, so we were on the the last ones on the boat and had to sit apart from each other which wasn’t too bad.
I chose a seat in the front.
Not too long after we left the harbor, I saw some sea gulls and cormorants on some rocks.
Before we got to the spot that we saw the whales at, I saw a sea otter, some murres and more sea gulls.
When we got to the spot where the whales were, there where a bunch of seiners around and sea gulls.
While we were there some of the other things I saw besides whales were eagles, a bunch of sea lions, murres, and cormorants.
I saw plenty of flukes, there even was a breach-but I missed it- and once while one of the people who talked into a mic on the boat was answering a question about weather or not whales got caught in seining nets, two whales and two sea lions got surrounded by someone’s seining net, but the people made it so they could get out.
When it was getting closer to when it was time to leave, I happened to look over the left side of the boat and saw a group of whales lunge out of the water, a bunch of people gasped-I think I was one of them.
The whales did some more lunging after ward, and I went out on the deck to get some photos of them. I did manage to get two photos of them lunging.
When we were in the channel, I saw a lot of sea gulls and I also saw some long tailed ducks.
Did the whales ever catch any sea gulls while they were lunging?
Did the sea lions catch any herring?
Why was there only one sea otter?
