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…

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…

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!

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.…

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…
