back on the rock

Cloudy, light winds. Scattered showers in the evening.
Tour boats: 3

Back on station around 1500 hrs.
The zodiac is headed in for servicing so Erik brought me out in the Whaler. I am without a boat until the Zodiac motor gets serviced or the cradle for the Whaler gets built and brought out to the reserve.
Maciek is still out here.

Interested in whale facts and help with identification? Check out the Wild Whales site from the BC Cetacean Sightings Network. Here at Race Rocks the challenge is often to properly tell the difference between a Grey whale and a Humpback whale. I find the easiest thing to look for is the dorsal fin (or lack thereof). On a Grey whale the back is relatively smooth without an obvious fin, whereas a Humpback (as the name suggests) has a stubby dorsal fin about 2/3 of the way back on the animal.
