Humpbacks, Risso's and a trip to the Painted Cave

A stunning winter day, packed with an eventful agenda!

After these crazy winter storms we've been having, debris was everywhere in the channel. Logs, bushes, sticks, and the occasional human garbage riddled the channel.

Our first sighting of the day was a pair of humpbacks. The sub-adult pair fluked continuously as they headed west in the channel. We watched as a pair of large container ships passed by in the distance, adhering to the 10 knot voluntary speed reduction request now active through January.

We soon had a wonderful encounter in the world-famous painted cave, with perfect conditions and a raging waterfall! A rarity to get this awesome combo. Just outside the cave, a large group of Risso's dolphins passed by the boat. An estimated 60 of these ghostly dolphins paraded by us capping off a perfect day in the SBC.

Until Next Time,
