First Trip Will Be Saturday, March 14th

Waves Breaking Over Dock

Under partly blue skies we arrived at the dock to find the most severe winds we've seen in this area! The white caps that were inside the marina were breaking over the dock- we have never seen conditions like this in all our days departing from Everett! After observing the weather system for a few minutes we reluctantly canceled the trip out of comfort for the passengers, since the waves were only bigger on the other side of Jetty Island which acts as a breakwater. That means the 1st trip of the season will now be this coming Saturday, March 14th at 11 AM.

Today Captain Carl saw 2 Gray Whales from the Island Explorer 3 while still tied to the dock! They should be close tomorrow for the first trip of the year. We should have a report up from tomorrow's trip by 12:30.

Another J-Pod Orca Baby

More great news of another J-Pod calf. That makes a total of 3 babies this year, 2 in J-Pod and 1 in L-Pod. There have also been multiple Gray Whale sightings in the Everett area this week and our first Gray Whale tour for 2009 will depart from Everett at 11AM this Saturday, March 7th. Stay tuned for a live whale report from Everett on Saturday - we should have one for you early in the afternoon!
