Rugged Seascapes

One of many beautiful views along our route. We never tire of it as the light, tides, colours are always different, no two days the same.

Eagles and Sea Otters

We always see a multitude of Bald eagles, especially in the early part of our season, and this year we have also been seeing sea otters almost daily. Here some superb images taken by one of our guests, Patrick Marshall, who came out with us on July 31st

Bald eagles mate for life. Here is a couple saying “I Do”..

One of our More Unusual Sightings

The other day we were lucky enough to see an ocean sunfish (Mola mola), one of the more bizarre creatures we encounter.

 

  

Breakfast on the Beach

Some days our tour just starts off perfectly …… with a black bear rolling over rocks along the shore to look for crabs underneath.

No Lazy Off Season For Us

So … do we get to just sit around and relax all winter long? No, not exactly.

Right now the salon of the Raincoast Maiden has been transformed into a work zone as we’re oiling, wetsanding, painting, cleaning, polishing ….oh, and I see Alan is replacing a light in the hall. 

It is not all work though as we always do manage to escape for a while.  

Still Open For Business!

We’re still open for business and the weather forecast for the next few days looks great! A glimpse of what to expect as seen through the lens of Gerry Fairbrother who came out with us on Sept. 23rd. Thanks, Gerry, for letting me share these – it was hard to pick only a few.

Feasting on Octopus

The sea otters have been keeping us well entertained this year. This big fellow got himself a feast, an entire octopus!
