Off To The Triplets !!!!!!

Through the grapevine we heard that the whales were at the Triplets so we gathered some people up and traveled to the Triplets to look for them. We could not have picked a more perfect day for this adventure. The sun is out and it is hot. Needless to say, we got a nice sunburn by the end of the day on the water!




  Kristy is busy trying to catch a fish.




Jeff caught some rock fish here, plus got a lot of sun!


A break from fishing and watching for whales we decide to go to shore and look around. This is a huge pile of netting that has washed up on shore from a commercial fisherman’s boat.


Bruce, Pam, Lucy and Rebecca in the North River.


Dan, Timmy, Emanuel and Toby following behind.




Here they come !!!! What we were waiting for! WOW, Killer Whales. We were on the look for Humpback whales though! What a great treat for us to see these.


There were maybe about 50 in this pod of whales traveling through to Snow Pass area. They seemed to be everywhere in Clarence Strait north of the Triplets. Actually probably 3 or 4 separate pods, all in the same general area.


Each one has a different look to their dorsal fins on top.



One got really close to our boat. Wow, how cool is this!


No real action from them, just really cool to see up close like this.


Now if you think this is cool, be sure to stay tuned for the best blog ever!
