Calm Seas and Sunny Skies!
"Gray Whales in Sight!," reports Naturalist Kate Janes from The Island Explorer 3. Today's tour was a private charter and our guests enjoyed a beautiful, sunny March day with the whales and lots of wildlife! Stay tuned to the Whale Report to hear about whale breath and other details on today's tour! "Many of our guests came prepared for the elements, however the nose plugs were left at home! Why nose plugs you may ask? Well, if you find yourself downwind of a Gray Whale as it surfaces you may experience its "all day breath" (it sure makes you thankful that we may just suffer from morning breath) !! It definitely makes an already unforgettable experience even more so!! These two pictured above (#531 & #49, Patch) were just two of three Gray Whales whom we visited. The third decided to feed alone today and in quite an peculiar spot. This whale (number undetermined due to situation) found himself in the delta in 10 feet of water feeding!! With almost each dive the whale would twist flashing us a glimpse of half a fluke!! We also saw a California Sea Lion feeding on a Salmon while his lazy friends were hauled out on a channel marker! Pelagic & Brandt's Cormorants, Pigeon Guillemot's, Harbor Seals, and various gull species were also seen!!"
