Michael and Heather Reed live in Amarillo. Well we own a house in Amarillo. Heather is a Community Regional minister for the CCSW and Mike travels with her to make sure she knows where she is going and takes care of her, because otherwise she would be lost. Heather has been serving this region since 2018, with Mike retiring in 2021, and is taking a sabbatical now after serving full time since 2021. They have been planning their adventures forever and are excited to relax, rejuvenate and recharge for the future with the Christian Church in the Southwest.

Video of Two Humpback Whales


Key Distinguishing Features:
 The Dorsal Hump & Fin: As the whale arches its back to dive, you can see the characteristic small dorsal fin resting on a broad, raised hump (which is where they get their name).
 Fluking Behavior: The tail flukes lift high out of the water before a deep dive—a classic behavior characteristic of humpbacks in coastal waters like Southeast Alaska. Heather and I were fortunate to be sitting on the deck of the Ruby Princess, when I spotted the blow from one of the whales off in the distance.
