I was not on the water today, but for a short time joined Corey on the whale spotting cliff at Walbran Park and watched two humpbacks - thought to be mother and calf out in the middle of Juan De Fuca Strait. Heard there was a third, possibly a male closer to Race Rocks, and earlier today they were grouped up. Corey said he'd seen some breaching earlier on today. Mount Baker was also very clear and got a nice view of that. Corey told us that JKL pods were out of range for 90% of the fleet (at east point), so they took in the humpbacks out in the Juan De Fuca Strait. I have to admit I am pretty excited about the fact that we've had humpbacks here this summer and can't wait to get a better look at these three. See the Be Whale Wise blog, for some excellent shots that Rachael got yesterday while monitoring at Race Rocks.
