Latte Girl Saves the Whale(s) Part 2

I arrived at the Bay with an assortment of refreshing beverages for the Marine Biologists and Coast Guard officials. “Thanks, Latte Girl.”
“Let’s take a moment to sip and ponder the situation,” I suggested. (Reader – this may be a good time to enjoy your own beverage).
I asked a Marine Biologist, “Why is the Grey Whale here?” And because this is not a highly scientific paper, I will summarize. “He was traveling to Alaska and took a wrong turn.”
“Hmm.” I pondered some more as I sipped my tea (yes, Latte Girl drinks all sorts of beverages). That was it! (Do you see where I’m going here?) Brilliant! Then, with fantastic multi-agency (Marine Biologists, Coast Guard and the nearest beverage retailer) coordination, we fashioned an enormous tea bag to the back of a Coast Guard Cutter and lured the Grey whale out of the bay to continue on its Northward Journey. Tea. Earl Grey. Of course.
See you Latte!

Latte Girl Saves the Whales

I wasn't expecting much adventure today following my harrowing day yesterday, but when I heard that there was a grey whale lingering in San Diego Bay, I knew it was time to strap on my latte cuffs and see what I could do.
