Had a great trip with the T65Bs yesterday! Flat calm water as they cruised north in Rosario Straight. Plus as an added bonus we had a few Tufted Puffins swimming around!!! Amazing to think these little birds spend most of the winter at sea, coming back in spring and summer to nest. What a wild day! See you next time.

The whale watching has been great lately! Lots of groups of our Biggs killer whales as well as more and more humpbacks! Looks like the summer weather is finally with temps in the 70's coming up!

Big Mamma and Zig Zag !! as she has since 1997 our favorite humpback whale big mama is back in the Salish sea for another season. She spends her winters off the big island of Hawaii and her summers here! This year she didn’t come back with a calf, but she’s has six offspring that also come back here in the Spring, Summer,and Fall! It USA great time of the year to be on the water to see humpbacks!
