During the month of October 2023, I carried out a contract as a Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) and Passive Acoustic System Operator (PAM), available to a consulting engineering firm during dredging for the ferry.
I spent four months on the water during the 2023 season, totalling 279 cruises. We had a difficult June without many whales, then got better and better until the end of September 2023.
Five weeks in the Canadian Arctic on a cargo ship between October and November 2022. It was magnificent: Iceberg, the capital of Nunavut: Iqaluit, isolated villages including Pangnirtung, Baffin Island, polar landscapes, seals, etc...
I had a good month on the water during the 2023 season totaling 104 cruises. We encountered some foggy days but overall the weather was good. I hadn't been back since 2016 as captain so I was very happy to be back on the boat.
