As a student at Oregon State, this trip was my first offshore expedition. While I was excited for the chance we might encountered beaked whales, when our sighting of the Hubbs’ occurred, it was beyond exhilarating, given we might only get a few minutes before they would dive again and possibly disappear from our view forever…except for those of us on the acoustics team, who could continue to peer into their world beyond our spotters perspective.
