Whale of a Tale in Monterey Bay

Santa Cruz is a tourist destination for sure. Just try getting over Highway 17 on a warm weekend day in the summer. But the good people at the Santa Cruz County Conference and Visitors Council are always trying to get more people to come to the area. The above photo just might do the trick.The photo was taken during a marketing shoot on the Monterey Bay on Tuesday, said Christina Glynn with the CVCl. It shows two humpback whales surfacing within just a few feet of kayaker Alan Brady.  Brady said the whales were so close to him that he had to duck out of the way for fear of being hit by the tails. Brady said the whales re-entered the water very slowly and he was not hurt.
