October 16 – 2 Dolphin species and Humpback Whales!!

Captain JJ, deckhand Daniel, and I (naturalist Alfredo) took to a flat calm bay with a small group of passengers. Before we had time to leave the harbor however, we spotted a pair of coastal bottlenose dolphin. These are a pretty rare sighting for us in Monterey; in fact, this species is quite new to…

October 15 – Killer Whales ALL DAY LONG!!!

The sun had decided to hide today. Regardless, the conditions still looked quite nice. There wasn’t much of a swell, and there wasn’t much wind either. We set sail on the Pacifica with myself, Captain Rod, and Deckhand Kevin. I was not prepared for how epic this day was about to become.   We started…

October 14th 2019 – Big Blue Whale, Little Minke Whale and an Albino Dolphin…

A variety of amazing animals showed up during our 9AM trip today! Even though there was a variety, we strived for great looks with a few of them. The first humpback whale I found produced a single blow and disappeared. Capt. Rod decided it was wise to let the long winded whale be and we…

October 13 – So many Blue Whales!

I was standing on the wharf drinking my morning coffee when Captain Rod and deckhand Kevin tied up the boat after refuelling this morning. I wave hello, and Rod steps out of the wheelhouse to immediately tell me the news – one of our coworkers was out fishing and had seen Blue Whales! They were…

October 12 – The bay was full of Humpbacks and Risso’s!

Absolutely no shortage of cetaceans out there on the bay today! The conditions were looking favourable again as we set sail on the New Horizon with Captain Danny, Deckhand Alfredo, and myself (Pete). After a couple of weeks where the humpbacks were relatively spread out and in low numbers, today was definitely a turning point.…

October 11 – Flat Calm Seas, Risso’s, & a Lone Feeding Humpback

Upon leaving the harbor we could see clear skies and flat calm seas. I know I mentioned this in my last blog, but its really that big a deal here on the Bay. We pushed to the northwest on the Pacifica (our vessel) passing the shorelines of Monterey, Pacific Grove, and finally Point Pinos, making…

October 10 – Humpbacks, Bottlenose Dolphins, and KILLER WHALES hunting a sea lion!!

Yesterday, the weather had gotten a little bit too rough for us to safely go out. I was itching to get back out, and couldn’t wait to get on board the boat today. We set sail on the Pacifica with Captain Danny and deckhand Kevin, heading down across Del Monte beach to a sighting our…

October 8 Perfect Conditions with Feeding Humpbacks and Risso’s Dolphin

We left Fisherman’s Wharf and made our way into the bay to stunning conditions. The sun was shining brightly in a blue sky streaked with wispy clouds, the air was a perfect 70 degrees, and the ocean was flat as a lake! However, by the time we got a mile northwest of Point Pinos we…

October 7 – Blue Whales, Risso’s Dolphins, Humpback Whales. TWICE!

I’ve been off work for the last 4 days and was completely itching to get back out on the water. It looked like Monterey Bay was welcoming me back as we set sail with no wind, no swell, perfect visibility, and the sun shining. I was with Captain Danny and deckhand Kevin aboard the New…
