SIGHTINGS UPDATE
Monday September 7, 2020
10am: It was foggy this morning so, after a stop with harbour and grey seals at Black Ledge, we headed offshore hoping the fog was less thick out there. It was! We found a humpback, Chevron out there! We also saw harbour porpoise, grey seals, sooty and greater shearwaters, herring and black backed gulls, diving gannets, and a great sighting of a jaeger (most likely a pomerine jaeger, thank you to Tracey from the Huntsman and Durlan from Sea Watch Tours for the help with the jaeger species ID)!
2pm: This afternoon they headed back offshore and spent time with a finback whale and a humpback, Chevron. They also saw porpoise, seals and many seabirds including a puffin!

Thanks to Rika for the updates today and to all of our passengers who joined us. Just a reminder we have added evening trips at 5:15pm next weekend due to the demand.
