Although July is one of the months of summer, its weather this year was decidedly not summerlike. Foggy, cool and wet days for most of the month didn't keep the whales away, however, and humpback, minke, and fin whales were present in the bay and a large variety of seabirds, including dovekies and a skua. An ocean sunfish was seen on one of the tours in mid July and more recently we had a porbeagle shark sighted on a tour. August has been sunny and warm so far, with the odd fog day, and the waters around Brier Island are now busy with a number of humpback whales sticking around the area. A sunset cruise earlier in the week was the best trip of the season so far and one of the whales, a humpback named Bungee, was especially friendly and active. Passengers got a great trip that evening and surely some fantastic photos, as well as the "delightful" spray of whale breath, will provide them with memories for years to come.
