Ooh la la!! On Monday the Gray whales were in rare form. Two males, jostling for position with a female. It was fascinating to watch, something we had never seen since Gray whales usually mate in the fall once they reach their wintering grounds in Mexico. Apparently these three could not wait! Now there’s a happy smile!!

We don’t see Orcas (Killer whales) very often but this July started off with a bang. Two days ago we came across a pod of Orcas who entertained us with their active behaviour – breaching, lob tailing, spy hopping. Today we didn’t even have to leave the dock to see them. As our guests were boarding three Orcas swam right past our boat!!
This week’s rainy conditions hardly slowed us down. We had some great trips with fabulous wildlife sightings. Although it seems as if Black bears do not like the rain much, they do have to come out to look for food ….. like this soggy bear who roamed the pebbly beach in Ucluelet Inlet the last two days. This Bald Eagle didn’t look all that pleased about being wet either. Luckily the guests aboard our boat looked a lot happier!
