Gray Whales Sighted!


Another great tour today, finding Gray Whales soon after leaving our dock! We had some rain and some sunshine and our guests got to see whales and lots of wildlife! Stay tuned to the Whale Report for details on today's tour from Naturalist Kate Janes! " It was another dynamic day out in the Puget Sound! Our guests experienced a wide array of wildlife AND weather! It may have started out a little damp but we ended up with patches of blue sky mid-trip that lasted through till the end! Shortly off the dock our guests were treated to a choir of California Sea Lions, followed by a raft of 300 + Western Grebes!! It was only to get better from there! Just off the west side of Camano Head towards Whidbey Island the exhalations of the Gray Whales were spotted! We spent quality time with # 531, #56, and good o' Patch, #49! Some of our guests were even lucky enough to capture the quintessential Washington State photo, as the whales swam parallel to one of the Washington State Ferries! We visited with 3 Bald Eagles, checked out where they call "home", and even witnessed a California Sea Lion making a meal of a Salmon!!"

A great shot by Bart Rulon in 2007. The folks on our March 8th, 2008 trip got quite the sensory overload when the lovely scent of the Gray Whale's exhale wafted over the boat!
