Today we had nice conditions with a moderate swell but very light wind. Captain Danny and I set sail aboard the Pacifica, joined by Naturalist Eric coming out to hang out with the whales on his day off. My camera is broken at the moment, so all the photos here are from Eric. We had…
After having yesterday off the water due to weather, conditions were much improved today. We set sail on the Pacifica with Captain Rod, deckhand Kevin, and myself. Our first find was just a few minutes outside of the harbour where we came across a small pod of Risso’s Dolphins. We had a few looks at…

I went out on two trips aboard the Pacifica with Captain Danny and deckhand Kevin. Alfredo and Captain JJ took…
