We have been having tremendous sightings for the last 3 weeks.  The migrating whales have been very active.  Lots of Breeching, Spy Hopping, and Fluking has been the Norm on almost all of our trips. 

Check out this phenomenal shot our Deckhand AJ got on the Kadaho a few days ago!  Baleen and all, which is how whales filter their nutrients out of the mud and other less desirables.  Baleen is composed of Keratin which is amost a cross between our hair and fingernails.

A lot of the whales have been stopping in Depoe Bay to load up on calories to make it the rest of the way north.  They have to eat a ton of mysid shrimp a day once they are done with their yearly fast.  We are so fortunate to have an abundance of these creatures that are about the size of your fingernail clipping.

We are proud supporters of the Oregon Kelp Alliance who protects our oh so valuable Kelp Forests where these mysids mainly hang out.

Our Resident Grey Whales are going to start showing up any day and we are looking forward to seeing our old and new friends!!

Dar she Blows Matey!!
