Luckily the fog was lifting, and it was only
somewhat cloudy. First we have breakfast at the hotel,
which go by very slow. Finally we went to Jamies for our whale
watch trip. We all got a rescue suit and a pair of gloves. You see, it's
very windy and cold at sea. It was a very fast zodiac which was driven by
Lynn our guide. We set off with 10 passengers on board. Once we clear the
harbour we go 
full
speed ahead! First we sail along a cliff with seals and after that we sail
to a humpbackwhale. It was a splendid sight. The waves were very high and
so Renate got very seasick. Remko could shoot some film of the whales. This
was very hard to do because they sound very quickly. Next we sail to a gray
whale, this was fantastic to see. Unfortunately Renate had to feed the fishes.
At last we sail along some sealions and 2½ hour later we are 'already'
back. We get there a warm cup of coffee to warm up a little. At the hotel
we sat in the hot tub. We also go to the beach nearby our suite for a short
walk. We saw some beautiful starfishes and anemones at low tide. Next we got
into the car and drove to Combers Beach where we walked a 1-mile boardwalk
through a beautiful primeval forest. We also walk around the Radar Hill. Although
the dusk was falling we didn't see any wildlife. At 08:30 PM we enjoyed our
meals at Schooner's restaurant. Yesterday we also had eaten at this restaurant.
We go to sleep at 10:45 PM!
