And gone!!
The fog has been so thick as of late and Marty and Patti's boat does not have radar so I went out with a local guide. The ladies went with me and we got a couple of halibut and some sole. These gals like the rock fish varieties and their favorite is rock cod. This is a fish I have never heard of and it isn't a keeper -- suppose it's because it is so ugly? Never did find out. It's called an Irish Lord. I still thought it worthy of a photo because it is so different and colorful!
I didn't have to pay to go out on one of the whale watch boats because we saw so many killer whales (orcas) on one of our days out in the boat. There are some resident pods and then some pods that are migrating. All the locals seem to know who is who. Don't tell anyone, but they all look alike to me.
The first time out with Marty, we saw a tail wave of a humpback, just barely out of the cove. Hopefully, I will get to see more.
Speaking of the fog, this shot is of a commercial fishing boat anchored just on the outside of the cove. I thought it was so neat looking.
I'm planning on another charter fishing this coming Thursday, the 8th to try for more salmon. I've really got the bug now. I also want to drive to some of the quaint little villages on the upper island, as the locals call it. Quite a few little villages that cater to tourists and rv'ers. Lots of little museums, too. I've made two museums so far. There is an awesome ocean mammal discovery collection here at Telegraph Cove. Skeletons of all the ocean mammals in the area. I'll post pictures of them later. Hope you are enjoying these photos that I finally was able to post.
Great series of the eagle! Irene
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Glad you are having such a good time.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! You don't get those kind of shots every day. The boat in the fog is a really awesome shot!
