A Comox Valley family had a meeting with a humpback whale family recently, between Comox and Texada Island.
Carolyn and Steve Touhey were out on their boat with a friend on Sunday, when they spotted the telltale whale spouts nearby.
B次元官网网址淚 think there were four [in the pod] - at one point I thought maybe five, but there were definitely at least four,B次元官网网址 Carolyn said. B次元官网网址淲e saw the blowholes so we slowed down, but the boat in idle, and just let them go past us.B次元官网网址
Carolyn grabbed her camera, which is equipped with a 60x zoom lens, and recorded the show from a distance.
Carolyn said she had a similar experience at this time last year.
B次元官网网址淥n the same memory card I was looking back to November of 2019 and we saw some spectacular humpbacks that time tooB次元官网网址 I think people probably think itB次元官网网址檚 winter so thereB次元官网网址檚 no whale-watching, but the whales donB次元官网网址檛 leave. We do.B次元官网网址
The Touheys, who own the Two Eagle Lodge, also had a memorable encounter with a pod of orcas earlier this year.
So is it time to expand their bed and breakfast business to a B&B/adventure tours business?
B次元官网网址淥h, I donB次元官网网址檛 think so,B次元官网网址 said Carolyn with a laugh. B次元官网网址淏ut I will never say never.B次元官网网址
