This morning we were met with beautiful weather and HUMPBACK WHALES only one and a half miles from the entrance. We also were able to see birds feeding on bait fish, SEA OTTERS, and lots of SEA LIONS. We even saw a Humpback whale breach out side of us!!!! The bait seems to be moving in so we will likely see an increase of Humpback whales moving in close!!

Whale Watching:August 28th

On this mornings whale watching trip, we were about a mile out when we came across a feeding frenzy. There were Sea Lions, Pelicans, Cormorants, and Common Dolphins surrounding and feeding on the bait ball. It was super exciting, especially because the Common Dolphins rode our bow wakes. We continued to search for the whales after coming across the feeding frenzy. The captain saw whales in the distance, but unfortunately they were elusive. While heading in, a pod of Dalls Porpoises came up to the boat and rode the bow wakes for a good ten to fifteen minutes. Still a great trip overall.

We took out Lori and her biology class from Questa College today. We had a great trip with calm seas and good visibility. We had a pod of COMMON DOLPHINS come around the boat and surf the bow wave it was too cool. We also spotted an albatross, sea lions, sea otters and plenty of other sea birds. We didn't score on any whales today but we had a nice tripc anyway.

Thanks

We had one trip today departing at 9:00 A.M. We covered a lot of ground, and we saw only a glimpse of a Minke Whale. The sea state was a little sloppy and occasional fog banks. We returned to the area where we saw the Blue Whales yesterday, but they were gone. Maybe they went around the block and they'll be back tomorrow.

Thanks.

FIN WHALES AND BLUE WHALES

Today we saw 2 FIN WHALES, 6 BLUE WHALES AND DAHL'S PORPOISE. The whales were 7 miles SW of Morro Bay. We only ran the one trip but it looked like a beautiful afternoon. We are running tomorrow at 9:00. There were spaces available when I went home. The forecast is the same for the next few days so we should have great trips.

Thanks

Kevin

Humpback whales

On Sunday August 15 We ran out to the SW about 5 miles and scored on HUMPBACK WHALES.

On Monday August 16 We had a foggy and rough day and failed to get the whales :=(

For Tuesday Aug 17 we ran about 9 Miles to the SW and saw spouts in the distance but had to head back because we were out of time. The forecast looks good for the next few days so we are due for some great trips.

Saturday August 14, 2010

On the morning trip we saw HUMPBACK WHALES and BLUE WHALES. The weather was calm and we had a great trip.

On the afternoon trip we had the whales in sight at 9 miles, but sadly the whales were heading out and we ran out of time and couldn't catch up to them. Return trip passes were given out. We did have DAHL'S PORPOISES riding the bow wave for a short time. Sweet!

Kevin

Perfect day!

Yesterday morning (Friday) we had a wonderful trip. We saw several HUMPBACKS, a BLUE WHALE and a pod of about a dozen DAHL'S PORPOISES riding the bow waves. The weather was flat calm and the sun came out. Just wonderful!

Kevin

Whales, whales, whales!!

Thursday 8/12/10 This afternoon on the way out we saw a space shuttle escape pod drill! A huge helicopter carried the pod to 14,000 ft and released it. It came floating down with 3 giant orange parachutes and splashed in the water. We spotted a BLUE WHALE for a while and saw several spouts in the distance.

Thursday 8/12/10 9:00 am trip. We saw the spouts and were just about to the whales, 6 miles SW of Morro Bay, when the Coast Guard boat came along side and ordered us to leave the area because of a drill. We were unable to find other whales. Return passes were issued.

Wednesday 8/11/10 We saw whales on both trips.

Monday's Whale Trips

Morning Trip:
On our morning trip we went out about ten miles. We found at least a dozen humpback whales, along with a large group of sea lions feeding with the whales. Also off in the distance were a couple of blue whales feeding. The weather was great, and the water was calm. All in all, it was another awesome trip.

Afternoon Trip:
On the afternoon trip we went out about seven and a half miles. We found about twenty humpbacks, that were having a blast breaching. The crew also found a group of blue whales that were feeding with the humpbacks. The weather was beautiful, and the water was calm just as it was on the first trip. Another great whale watching adventure.


Thanks,

Kevin =]

Sunday's Whale Trips

Morning Trip:
Yesterday, while making our way south; our crew found four blue whales, and a pod of common dolphins. Also spotted during the trip was an albatross. The weather was amazing, and the water was calm and glassy. The blue whales put on a great show, as did the dolphins. Overall it was another excellent trip.

Afternoon Trip:
The weather was also exceptional on our second whale trip. The water remained calm and glassy as it had been on the first. Despite our crews effort, we did not see any blue whales on this trip. We did however see a minke whale. Still a pretty good trip overall with the beautiful weather and calm sea state.

Thank you,

Kevin :]

update for the last 3 days

On tuesday Aug 3rd we got out on 2 trips and we saw whales on both trips. The weather was good and we had great trips.

On Wed Aug 4th the whales were out 9 miles to the south west. We saw both BLUE WHALES and HUMPBACKS. On the afternoon trip we got skunked on the whales and the weather was a little sloppy :=(.

Today we ran out to the sw area and up to Church Rock. We covered a lot of ground but came up empty on the whales. We did see some sea lions, sea otters, an albatross and several the sea birds.

On the 1:00 trip we ran up to the NW and saw several bait balls with birds working. A dozen common dolphins were spotted and also a shark that was either a great white or a salmon shark. Again we covered a lot of ground and came up empty.

Thanks,

Kevin

Still on a roll!

Today we saw BLUE WHALES AND HUMPBACKS Again. the whales were pretty much in the same area, about 6 miles SW of Morro Bay.
I think we saw about six blue whales and maybe a dozen humpbacks. Two more spectacular trips!!

Still calm and lots of whales!!!

We had another banner day with the WHALES. A big group of whales,
both BLUE AND HUMPBACK, are still milling around in front of Morro Bay feeding on krill. We ran 3 trips today and they were all awesome, with multiple whales on each trip. The weather was again calm and the forecast is for more of the same.

GO WHALES!!

Thanks

Kevin

Whales everywhere!!

On Saturday we ran 3 trips. 9:00, 1:00 & 5:00. We had full limits of BLUE WHALES AND HUMPBACK WHALES ON EVERY RUN. It is as good as it gets right now on seeing the whales. We had several whales come to the boat on the 1:00 trip! Awesome!!
