Run or Dye and checking out whales Part III

After run or dye, we headed back to our hotel near Fishermans wharf and had a shower (and a little nap), and headed down to the wharf for lunch.  This boy had mussels and I had fish tacos!!
Then we met up with our film crew for the afternoon. This is Dave and Justus.....as you can see, they loved Isaac.
Jackets on, ready to go.  Filming a quick spot for tourism Victoria ..." Mom and son go whale watching" .... 
My line was "watching his eyes light up when he saw his first whale"......Chris texted the following after I told him what my line was.  He knew it was for tourism Victoria, so he said hey, use this line enstead "The whales where ok. But at camp imadene his eyes really light up. Send your kids. We still have room"
Tons of whales!! Humpbacks started the trip off..... They are so huge!!  And we stayed mostly in US waters to see the orcas.  Lots of jumping and breaching, and whales that would just pop their heads out to look around. Those guys were called spy catchers because they do that to get the lay of the land, who is around, etc....
Isaac stood on the back of the boat at one point, and one orca swam along the back swim grid and launched out of the water super close and landed on it's back!!!! "Seeing his eyes LIGHT UP when he saw his first whale"... Was a super accurate line that I could now say with conviction!!!!
Whale tooth!  We had great guides who showed us some cool stuff. 
Carrie is back on a boat for a short trip up in Port Hardy for two weeks.  The pay is as good as her last four week trip, I couldn't have said no either!!
Really nice to spend some time with this guy..... We've known him for years and it's been fun watching him go from camp videographer to commercial and music video maker in an industry that is so big, but he's getting big alongside it. Very cool. 
Long drive home.... Stopping at our favorite restaurant for dynamite rolls. 
We were both wiped.  Good day.
