As far as beautiful sightings at sea are concerned, I'd like to single out several. First of all, the two humpback whales, Gaspar and Irisept/Cocotte, surface-feeding for several days below Baie des Escoumins. They pushed the fish in front of each other, swallowing it in sync. A whale's dance.
For the 2016 season, just one thing: rare whales!
Initially, I was only supposed to be on the water as a replacement captain. In the end, I found myself on the water every weekend.
Concerning the 2014 season: far fewer whales this year!
Since 2011, there have been fewer whales, year after year! It's a shame. Anyway, thanks to my visitors for your photos!
On October 06, 2013, I finished my season on the water and exceeded the number of my outings compared to 2012. My total is 185 outings this year versus 174 in 2012, so 11 more.
From June to the end of September 2012, I spent 348 hours (174 trips) in a zodiac on the St. Lawrence River. Five more trips than in 2011.
This season, the weather has been exceptional, especially in July and August.
From June to early October 2011, I spent 338 hours (169 outings) in a zodiac on the St. Lawrence River. I asked my clients for souvenir photos, and then selected 32 of my own.
I ended the 2010 summer season a little early to return to France and join the family. Some customers graciously sent me some photos of the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), close to the boat and surface feeding, and the fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) parallel to my boat.
