July 18th at 8:30 a.m., as the morning fog cover was lifting, a local surfer had a close encounter with a California Grey Whale. The whale surfaced at local surf break, Cox Bay and approached surfer and chocolatier Cam Shaw. Cam initially thought it was a seal lion head popping up as all he could see was a undefined dark object. “I was pretty far outside in the lineup.
