A Whale of a Day!

Well it’s another adventure in the boat today. Jeff, Kris, Pat and I in our boat, and Bruce and Pam in their boat.

Jeff starts out the day with a really nice skate. This gets the excitement going knowing that a big fish is waiting for us!

Boom ~ ! ~! Kristy gets a fish one and it is a nice halibut. What we call a chicken here, but its great eating.

Later on in the day we look for a picnic spot on the beach. After traveling around looking at some new areas we find one. We all unload all the items and tie the boats together. Jeff gets a nice fire going.

Well can anyone see where Pat is? Now this is one large skunk cabbage leaf!

Kristy and Jeff are enjoying their time here with us.

Hey everybody !!!! There is a shark on the beach up here!

Come and get it!! The hot dogs are done! Yummy!! Thank you Pam for the hot dogs!

The boats are being tied up by Bruce and Pat.

Just after this shot the wind came up and the picnic is canceled and we all load up because of the wind and the waves. Rats!! We were having such a great time. Off we go back towards Whale Pass. Going by a cove we hear whales blow!! Then a big splash ~~! Lets go in there and wait for them to blow again. It is protected by the wind so it is calm. Then all of a sudden the young whale starts putting on a show that is incredible. He jumps, splashes his tail for almost 30 minutes. What a show!

 

Pictures can’t show the real feeling of what it was like!

This was a really close shot.

Kristy and her 29# halibut.

This is a very nice shot of an eagle in the tree next to the house. What a nice way to end the day. This day was a special day for all of us.

I will try very hard to get a video of the whales to upload, but it may be sometime so stay in touch!
