A Whale of a Time!

From the Wheelhouse:

Today was another amazing day!  With calm seas and some light showers, people from all over the world were treated to active morning and afternoon tours.  Lots of seabirds, and a group of 6 very social orcas....one of them being a new calf.  Lots of tail slaps, pec slaps and even a few belly rolls.  The highlights would have to be the A24's breaching and spy hopping plus some great vocals bringing a couple of passengers to tears!

We also got a good look at a humpback whale, a minke whale, 100 plus Pacific white-sided dolphins, active Dall's porpoise, harbour seals....and even a big black bear on the beach!  Today was a really good day for the seabirds with lots of rhinoceros auklets, bald eagles, northern phalaropes and a few common murres.

Another great day on the water!

Captain Wayne's quote of the day:

'I am not good enough to be a saint, and not bad enough to be intersting.'    Bernadette Devlin
