where will you be going to watch whales, SF?

This is the closest I have come to whale watching. I have never seen one in the water.

no, no no.

I used to run the boats that took whale watching tours. Sometimes you get real close, I've had Humpbacks and Greys come alongside so close you could touch them (but don't) and other times you only get a glimpse in the distance.

Light will not be issue so you don't need a fast lens.
I'd bring the 70-200 if I only brought one.

PL filter?

Moss Landing? If so that's an old hunting grouund for me. If only one you'll get more use from the longer lens. A CPL wouldn't be a bad idea either
