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.…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
