Whale Watching Report

A great start to our 2008 season with sightings on 100% of the tours so far this year! The wind has kicked up a little today but that's no problem for the Island Explorer 3 - we're on scene with the whales right now, 12PM, 1.5 miles north of Camano Head. More details coming soon from today's tour! "We not only found Gray Whales today, but we found the 4th whale of the 2008 season! Joining #531, 56 & 49 is number 44, whom we were able to identify despite a small chop in Saratoga Passage! Prior to getting on scene with the Gray Whales our guests spent some time checking out a Bald Eagle's nest on Camano Island and even saw Surf Scoters just off Gedney Island!! We also spent time with California Sea Lions both in and out of the water!! Although the two pictured above appear to be quite lazy, they in fact are thermo-regulating (keeping themselves warm)!!"
