“When you are the one usually behind the camera, finally getting your dream moment with one of the most special animals that you live to document. Safe to say, everyone onboard enjoyed watching @adam_ernster get his life changing moment in the sun with Margarita… one of the most friendly whales we have ever encountered on our adventures with the grey whales. Heading down to visit the greys one final time today as the season comes to a close… hoping to have the chance to say goode and thank you to Margarita and all of these remarkable whales who gifted so many of us with their presence,” reads the caption posted along with the video.
