Another week on the water led to more whale sightings and some fickle spring weather. It turned chilly, a little rainy, and overcast, but that did not stop us from venturing out to “see what we could see.” We headed to Canada quite a bit, into the beautiful but far reaches of Saanich Inlet and […]
May 5 – May 11
We had another exciting week on the water around the central Salish Sea, seeing whales on all our trips this week.

This week we encountered humpbacks, grays, and Bigg’s killer whale families the T65As, T65Bs, […]
