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
