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.
香蕉视频直播淚 think there were four [in the pod] - at one point I thought maybe five, but there were definitely at least four,香蕉视频直播 Carolyn said. 香蕉视频直播淲e saw the blowholes so we slowed down, but the boat in idle, and just let them go past us.香蕉视频直播
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.
香蕉视频直播淥n the same memory card I was looking back to November of 2019 and we saw some spectacular humpbacks that time too香蕉视频直播 I think people probably think it香蕉视频直播檚 winter so there香蕉视频直播檚 no whale-watching, but the whales don香蕉视频直播檛 leave. We do.香蕉视频直播
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?
香蕉视频直播淥h, I don香蕉视频直播檛 think so,香蕉视频直播 said Carolyn with a laugh. 香蕉视频直播淏ut I will never say never.香蕉视频直播
