It was good to see our old friend, Patch, today.
An eagle caught a cod right in front of us.Consistent Gray Whale sightings over the last few weeks in the Everett area - they have arrived early this year and we can't wait to get out on the water! Sightings of some of the yearly regulars have been confirmed and Cascadia Research will be on board to ID any new arrivals. The Island Explorer 3 is better than ever with two months of great improvements completed including more heaters and engine rebuilds. Tours on Saturday and Sunday departing from Everett at 11AM.
The Center for Whale Research has confirmed a new baby in L-Pod. With 4 new babies in J-Pod, this L-Pod calf brings the total newborns to 7. Orca Whale tours from Anacortes begin on May 8th, 2010 and Gray Whale tours from Everett start March 6th!
More sightings of Gray Whales in the area over the last few days and also more sightings of Transient Orca Whales. We can't believe it's February with the beautiful blue sky, sunshine, and temps near 60. (That's 15 for our friends from Europe!) Great weather, lots of whale sightings, and the flowers are blooming. First tour on the Island Explorer 3 will be March 6th for Gray Whales from Everett.
We've been having such nice, warm weather, it's hard to believe that it is February! Lots of whale sightings in the area - more Transient Orca Whales in the Victoria area, Gray Whales in the Everett area (Our first Gray Whale tour will be March 6th, from Everett), and a Humpback Whale in the Puget Sound.
A large group of Transient Orca Whales, upwards of 20, was sighted near Victoria and the Port Angeles area. Stay tuned to the Whale Report for updates on winter wildlife!
Gray Whales have already been sighted in the Everett area, J-Pod sighted in Haro Strait, 4 new baby Orcas (The Orca Whales are doing great!), we're just finishing rebuilds on all three engines on Island Explorer 3 (cleaner, more efficient, faster), new generator is super quiet, we've installed all new and additional heaters, and our crew is ready - Wow! This looks like a great season! Hope to see you soon!
