There is a professional association for whale watch operators: tonight, we had a meeting with members from the San Juan Islands and Anacortes. The discussion was about the legal distances, legal speeds (distance to whales related), radio procedures, reporting procedures. Last year was my first year meeting all these captains... so I wasn't the new guy this year.
"Hey, Jim, I heard you on the radio - glad to see you're back."
"Jim, you shaved your beard off - I didn't recognize you until you spoke."
It's a good bunch, and all cooperative boat operators. It was nice to see them all again. You see the same people out on the water, day after day, and it's good to know that everyone works together.
It's shaping up to be a different season from last year, while we learn the new owner's style.
