We had an amazing group of guests on our morning trip today. All eager to see the BC coast and wildlife.

The Tenacious III headed west to the Robson Bight Ecological Reserve. At the eastern boundary we encountered Dalls Porpoise all around us. They were travelling slowly giving everyone a chance to get a great view.

 

While in Blackfish Sound we saw a Humpback Whale blow! We watched this whale dive several times as we had lunch.

There were kayaks in the area and they had a close encounter. Humpback Whales are often oblivious to boats. Not equipped with ecolocation like toothed whales it is very important to be alert and aware of your surroundings when on the water. The Marine Education and Research Slogan “See a Blow go Slow” is a great way to remind people to pay close attention to where they are travelling.

Before heading back to Kelsey Bay we saw a group of Steller Sea Lions and adult & juvenile Bald Eagles.
