It's Humpback and Blue Whale Season in SF Bay now through November
Tideline vessels are equipped with restrooms, inside and outside seating and beverage service (beer, wines and sodas)
Humpbacks feed on fish, or the tiny crustaceans we call krill. When the krill begin to “bloom” in vast numbers offshore in the Gulf of the Farallones, usually by August, the humpbacks will turn their attention there. But until then, the humpbacks are taking advantage of the Bay’s bounty. You can sometimes see them lunging to the surface, their huge throats distended as they engulf a shoal of anchovies.
