December 30 – Six Cetacean Species Today! Three Baleen Whales, Three Toothed Whales (including ORCA)!!

What a day out there! We had two boats going out all day, with pretty nice conditions throughout both the morning and afternoon trips. A light swell and a light wind made for a comfortable ride, getting nicer and nicer throughout the day. Captain Rod, naturalist Eric, and deckhand Daniel Rosa were aboard the Pacifica,…

December 28 – Gray Whales, Humpback Whales, and Risso’s Dolphins!

Our conditions today were a little bit bouncy in the morning, but they calmed down by the afternoon to give us a really nice ride on the afternoon trip. Two boats went out at 10am and 1:30pm. Captain Danny took the New Horizon with deckhand Reed and Naturalist Eric, while I went with Captain Rod…

December 26 – Humpbacks and Dolphins!

Today was a great day! The swell was pretty big all day long but quite spread apart so we still rode comfortably. There was a bit of wind in the morning, but it dropped off a fair bit by the afternoon. We had a very busy day with all three boats going out! Captain JJ…

December 24th – Humpbacks Whales, Gray Whales, and Risso’s Dolphins, including Casper!

Today we had a relatively light swell, alongside relatively light winds. The winds dropped off throughout the day, making the afternoon nice and comfortable. We went out on two trips aboard the Pacifica with Captain Danny, Naturalist Eric, and myself (Naturalist Pete, although I was deck-handing today). As I was arriving to work this morning…

December 23rd – We got 5 Orca, including 1 calf!

We had quite a busy day today, so we ended up scheduling two boats to go out. Captain Rod took the Pacifica with Naturalist Eric and deckhand Reed, while myself and Captain JJ went out on the Chubasco. The conditions ended up being pretty nice, a bit of a swell but pretty much no wind.…

December 20 – Humpback Whales and a surprise appearance from Casper!

Today the weather was quite different between our two trips. We started off with a bit of a swell with some wind on it, but by the afternoon the wind had completely disappeared, leaving nice and calm seas. Captain Rod and I (Naturalist Pete) set sail aboard the Pacifica, with relatively light loads on either…

19 December – A nice group of Humpback Whales and 1000 Dolphins!

Today was still a little bumpy, but much calmer than yesterday. The swell was spread quite far apart, and we had a nice light wind throughout the trip. We set out to sea aboard the Pacifica with Captain Rod, deckhand Alfredo, and myself (Naturalist Pete). We headed straight out 10 miles offshore, to catch up…

December 18 – Humpback Whales and Three Dolphin Species!

Today was a bit of a bumpy one. With a pretty big swell and a bit of wind, we were bouncing around a fair bit once we got out of the bay. Regardless, we still managed to get two awesome trips out of it! Because we had light loads, we went with just two crew…

December 13 – Nice little group of four Humpback Whales!

We didn’t have a 9:00 am trip today due to a lack of bookings, so we hung around the wharf until our first sailing at 1:30 pm. Captain Rod was driving the Pacifica, joined by deckhand Andrew and myself (Naturalist Pete).   We met a pretty large swell, but it was very comfortable as there…

December 12 – Cow/Calf pair of Feeding Humpback Whales!

We had favourable conditions today as we headed out into the bay aboard the Pacifica. Captain Rod, deckhand Daniel Rosa, and I (Naturalist Pete) found a light swell, with pretty much no wind throughout the trip. We started the trip heading out west to see if any of the activity from yesterday was still around,…
