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…
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…
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…
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,…
What a day. I’ve had the last few weeks off to do some travelling around the country and was itching to get back on the water today. We set sail aboard the Pacifica with Captain Danny, deckhand Kevin, and myself (Naturalist Pete). Eric also decided to come out on his day off, for a bit…
Plenty of active humpback whales were seen on both our trips today here at Discovery Whale Watch! Our morning trip had humpback whales lunge feeding close to our boat the Pacifica. The anchovies that our whales thrive upon were seen close to the surface. This allows us to guide our guest eyes to the exact…
Our 9AM and 1:30PM trip both had to deal with poor visibility today but many whales and dolphins still made an appearance! The 9AM got a great look at multiple humpback whales lunge feeding on huge schools of anchovies! Our population of humpback whales come towards the Monterey Bay area to feed upon anchovies and…
We only had one trip today, with Captain Rod, deckhand Reed, and myself (Naturalist Pete). The conditions were perfect, with very little wind. Although we did have a swell which ranged between 2-6 feet, the waves were so far apart that it was barely noticeable. We initially went out north towards where the humpbacks had…
We started off our 9am trip with Captain Danny, deckhand Kevin, and myself (naturalist Pete) aboard the Pacifica. The weather today was quite favourable, especially in the morning. We had light wind and a light swell, which meant there was not very much motion. The wind picked up a little bit for the afternoon so…
Today we headed out with Captain John, deckhand Daniel Rosa, I (naturalist Pete). We had an overcast day so it was quite cloudy and grey, but otherwise, the weather was perfect. We had a very light swell and pretty much no wind throughout the morning. Recently our sightings had tended to be down south, but…
