We have been experiencing the much awaited Transition Period in the Grey Whale Migration. Most of the whales have made it to the warm lagoons of Baja, California and now are on the way back North. We are still seeing one or two adolescent whales heading South each day, but the majority now seem to be heading North. This is an exciting time because we are seeing more Breaching Behaviour and soon we expect to see the Cow and Calf pairs. As far as numbers it appears that this year will be as good as last year or maybe even a little better.
Fin Whale sightings have been better than ever this year. They disappeared for a week or so and then this weekend they were back rolling and lunge feeding on the surface in huge clouds of Krill that was seen on the surface near the "Wiskey" Buoy. What a treat!!!!!!
Our resident Humpback Whale has also made an occassional appearance to make this season a most exciting one. Hope to see you on the Christopher.
