Hi Everyone

Yesterday a Southern Right became very curious about our “Sail-A-Way”…just outside the channel by the lookout.  My guests loved its curiosity and gentle sighs as it responded to our music.  I thought of the shore-bound watchers and wondered if our information could help them get past their fears of sea-sickness.

Hi Everyone

We had a wonderful day of whale watching yesterday.  Our guests so enjoyed it I thought I would let them tell you about it.

Every morning on Albany Whale Tours “Sail-A-Way”, eager adventure-seekers meet to look for whales.  Every morning, the skipper ‘chairs’ the meeting ….weather…wind direction….wave action…the whales, sighted from the hill…and the adventure seekers design the trip and make their votes. (more…)

This third week of June, we have enjoyed wonderful displays by Humpbacks.  Sad to say for our land-based watchers, the whales are still staying way, way out beyond the islands marking the Sound ……   but….. we are seeing them every day.  As if to use their saved energy, the whales are often breaching and tail-slap caressing.

Every day too….hundreds of dolphins just as intent on playing with the whales, and the whales…they’re still curious about us and our boat, generally cruising by quite close ….. a mark of the human’s attractiveness, as the Humpbacks have to interrupt their honeymoon smooching to check us out!

‘Sail-A-Way’ is having to stay out on a long trip to locate these distant creatures, so we are taking extra complimentary hot food…   Halal for our Muslim guests; Pork free for the Jewish community; vegetarian for the vegetarians and pies, sausage rolls, scones and tea and coffee a plenty for all.

Thanks for this news from Albany Whale Tours;
