February 3. 2010: We listened to crazy vocals on the hydrophone for an hour while having coffee this morning, hoping for an encounter on our late morning trip! It was a successful encounter with many transient killer whales; they were just south of Race Rocks and they were active. Lots of spyhops, zigzagging back and forth, calves and very large dorsal fins... it was great to be on the water!
December 5. 2009: We haven't been out much lately but we're still operating. The whales are still being sighted and Race Rocks is busy with steller and California sea lions. Due to weather and with it being the slow time of year, we don't get out every day but call us and check in if you're interested as we're always around!
November 11. 2009: We had a great afternoon with J's and K's today! They were really spread out, across Haro Strait and heading South West. J1, aka Ruffles, paid us a special visit!!
