Whale Watching Report

The Island Explorer 3 is on-scene with Gray Whales in Possession Sound. There was also a report yesterday of J-Pod Orca Whales in south Puget Sound. If the Orcas are in the south sound over the weekend, maybe we can show you Gray Whales and Orca Whales on our weekend tours! Stay tuned to the Whale Report for more details on today's tour from Naturalist Kate Janes. "Moments off the dock just off the west side of Gedney Island we found Gray Whale #356!! Slowly cruising through the water it took quite some effort to figure out which guy we were visiting. This coupled with the fact that after his long downtime there was really no telling where he would reappear! After a couple of good looks we ventured north up Saratoga Passage in search of any of his giant grey friends! We found Gray Whale #383 back with #356 at the sound end of Gedney Island! During one surfacing we actually smelt him before we saw him!! Yet another great day out on the water with a few breaks in the clouds allowing the brilliant blue sky to shine down on California Sea Lions, Pigeon Guillemots, Surf Scoter, Harbor Seals, 5 Bald Eagles, Cormorants and Western Grebes!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
