HEADING OUT & COMING IN
COMING IN
Whale Watching Boat At Sunset
Heading Back
You can see how the fog was moving into Tofino Inlet. It does this every day in August ,or as it has been nick named “Fogust”!
When the sun sets,the cooler conditions allows the fog to move in. During the day when it is hot,the fog is held at bay,but just wait when the sun starts to slip down in the sky! You’ll see the Fog tongues start to push and feel it’s way into the inlets! It gets chilly as well & when it does one must always dress warmly for these occasions. The tourists see me heading out in hot weather all dressed up with warm clothes and must think I’m off my rocker!
Tofino Air Taking Off
The “Miss B Haven” is in the foreground. A water taxi slash whale watching boat I think?
Pacific Springs
This is a whale watching boat for Jamies. He was just coming back into the harbour,probably from the Hot Springs.
Just as well,the light was poor for picture taking.
Sunset Cruise
The Season Starts!
The Whale watching season has started.
Grey whales are starting to migrate north from the southern waters. I believe the females lead the way on the migration to the Bering Sea?
You can see Romeo and Juliette perched on the southern island of Deadman island in the top left!
Sunset Snow
I decided to shoot all of that fresh snow at sunset when it was turning pinkish. A whale watching boat was cruising by from Ocean Outfitters as well.
Watching Whale Watchers watching Whales
I got a shot of Remote Passages Zodiac with the female(Wakana) breaching in the background.
Whale Watching Zodiac at Sunset
The light was being interrupted by these clouds,so I headed back into the harbour. I thought I might head out to the Lighthouse because of the moon.
This Zodiac and another were coming from the same place I was and went by me in the harbour. I continued on past the harbour and tried to make it out there(Lighthouse) before sunset.
Whale Watching Zodiac
This is one of the boats that stayed out to shadow the Orca’s with me. He was on the west of them and I was on the east.I zoomed in and all you could see were huge smiles.
He was circling because they had given us the slip. They went deep and were cruising.
I saw a rainstorm coming and decided to book it. Besides the light had already gone and the sun was about to set.
The Leviathan
She was coming out just as I was heading back in. A friend of mine was the captain and had given me the heads up on the pod coming through the harbour.
Thanks Wayner!
