Unfortunatley poor weather has not allowed us to do any whale watching during the past week and allthough a few whales are still passing the bay there are not enough to confidently continue the cruises for this year. The southern migration was excellent with whales sighted on all but 1 cruise. We look forward to seeing you when the whales return at the end of May 2004.
