Wildlife Galore!



Gray whales have showed up earlier than ever this year out of Everett and now to make it even better a Humpback has showed up in the Hood Canal!! Humpbacks have been increasing in numbers, over 7% each year. There are so many Humpbacks today that it is causing them to expand into different areas. It's going to be an excellent Gray whale season!
There has also been sightings of Risso's dolphins! Rosso's dolphins are one of the larger members of the dolphin family. This is a relatively robust dolphin with a rounded head. They are usually an offshore dolphin, whose inshore appearance is uncommon, so sighting them in the Puget Sound is very exciting!
We are so anxious to get the Island Explorer 3 down to Everett! The wildlife just keeps getting better and better! Remember, first trip is March 3rd!
