Hornblower Cruises and Events maintains a fleet of seven vessels based in San Diego that offer harbor tours, dinner cruises, weddings, office parties, private yacht charters and more…but the reason I traveled to san Diego was specifically to board the “Adventure Hornblower” ship for a four-hour whale watching cruise out in the open ocean not far from Point Loma.

Rebecca Milkey, Director of Marketing for Hornblower Cruises and Events, shares her insights in to the Hornblower whale watching adventure, and how a group of Wounded Warriors discovered the healing experience of communing with the cetaceans. We’ll also visit with the captain of the ship, Jules Peet in the wheelhouse. I’m your host, Tom Wilmer come along and welcome aboard….
