07-12-2013: More Fluking Blue Whales, Risso’s Dolphins, Pacific White-sided Dolphins and Northern Right-whale Dolphins
The is the longest streak of nice conditions and close in sightings we’ve had in recent memory. Lately, we’ve been on the animals within 30 minutes of leaving the harbor. So that’s always nice. We were on two large blue whales within about 30 minutes.
Calm seas and no wind. Blue whales continue to feed in The Bay. And today we had a great look at a multi-species pod of dolphins. We had Pacific white-sided dolphins, Risso’s dolphins and Northern right whale dolphins all cruising around the area breaching and tail slapping. Very cool.
