Event

Whale watching

Ahoi me hearties!

The CPA is hosting another whale watching trip with the fine folks of Newport Whales (http://www.newportwhales.com/) on February 26th. Our ship, the Ocean Explorer, sails at noon from Newport Beach for a two and half hour trip full of grey whales, dolphins, and other amazement. The price of this trip is a bargain of $15. We are allowed to bring our own food, but not alcohol which will be available for sale on board.
Also as we have ordered a big boat, please feel welcome to buy as many friends as you wish. On the other hand, this is a first served event, so once we fill up the boat, it is full (up to cancellations).

We plan to organize a car pool for the transportation from and to Caltech to the event. According to Google Maps the drive is a little over an hour.
This means one would need to leave Caltech around 10 am and be back by 4 pm.

As an additional warning, the Pacific is never really warm, so I recommend wearing some level of warm clothing.

Some parent relevant information:
- Children under the age of 5 are free.
- Strollers are usually left in the office.
- Food is allowed on the boat.
- The crew is used to deal with children.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at helge@caltech.edu.

Fair Winds!
