9-4-20 “Adventures & Leviathans”

Today was an adventurous day, with strong winds on the forecast and a thick wall of fog that stood before us as we left Monterey Harbor. Undeterred, Captain Danny pressed on, out west to the edge of the continental shelf, where the fog broke to reveal two massive humpback whales. Judging by their girth, these…

March 13 – Humpback Whale BREACHING bonanza!

Today was an absolutely incredible trip aboard the Pacifica with Captain Rod, deckhand Reed, and myself. The weather had picked up a lot more than we had expected, so we had quite a few bumps on the way out. When the wind is high, although it means there is a bit more motion on the…

11 March – Started with Gray Whales, finished with feeding Humpback Whales and Pacific White-Sided Dolphins!

We had some of the most beautiful conditions of the year today! Captain Danny, deckhand Andrew, and I set out sail on the New Horizon, pointing out North-West to the open ocean. We had heard whisper of some dolphins in that area and wanted to see if we could track them down. We didn’t manage…

Beautiful conditions today! I was just out for one trip in the morning, riding on the New Horizon with Captain Danny and deckhand Reed. As we were leaving the harbor, we got the call from one of our fishing boats that there were some dolphins in the area! It was a short ride until we…

We had a bit of wind in the morning, but otherwise nice conditions on both trips on the Pacifica. Today was my day off but I decided to join Captain Danny, deckhand Andrew, and naturalist Eric to see what we could find. We started the day off strong with a fair few Humpback Whales! There…

March 6th – Close encounters with Gray Whales, Humpback Whales, Pacific White-Sided Dolphins, and Northern Right Whale Dolphins!

Captain Danny, deckhand Andrew and I had an amazing day out on the water! We had two trips with great weather, great wildlife, and great passengers! As we headed out west, our first sighting was a single Gray Whale moving north. As we approached this whale, we noticed it was acting a bit funny. We…

March 5 – Gray and Humpback Whales!

Beautiful conditions today, with a light wind and small swell. My first day back with a camera as it’s been in for repairs recently! We started the day off by checking out the juvenile Brown Booby that has been hanging out in the harbor recently, before heading out west on the search for Gray Whales.…

January 15 – Gray Whales and Casper the Albino Risso’s Dolphin!

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…

January 10 – Gray Whales and Risso’s Dolphins!

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…

We had the nicest conditions we’ve had in a while today. A light swell mixed with a light wind made for really nice and comfortable conditions, and it got nicer and nicer throughout the day! I went out on two trips aboard the Pacifica with Captain Danny and deckhand Kevin. Alfredo and Captain JJ took…
