①I live with my husband, Tyrone, in San Luis Obispo, California, about five kilometres from the beach. Every few years, the humpback whales come into the bay for a few days while they’re migrating. November 2020 was one of those times, so we took out our yellow double kayak to watch the wildlife. We paddled out the length of the pier and saw seals, dolphins and about 20 whales feeding on silver fish. We were in awe watching these graceful creatures—each one about 50 feet long—spray through their blowholes.
②At the time, my friend Liz Cottriel was staying with us. The next day, I asked her if she wanted to go out on the water to see them. With no such experience, she refused.“There’s nothing to worry about,” I assured her. “The craft is stable, and we can turn back any time.” Finally, she agreed to join me. I didn’t want her to miss this magnificent experience and regret it later.
③At 8:30 the following morning when we got out on the water, there were already about 15 other kayakers and surfers in the bay. After a half-hour, we had our first whale sighting just past the pier: two humpbacks swimming towards us. How amazing to be that close to a creature that size, I thought as the whale dipped under the waterline.

We followed them at a distance—or what I thought was a distance. Suddenly, a tightly packed group of silverfish, started jumping out of the water into our kayak. Oh, no, we’re being attacked!
