No. I do no coastwise paddling down here, though. In any case, I bet whales avoid the mouth of the Columbia, owing to the heavy shipping traffic, etc. Seen several humpbacks in the Barkley Sound area, though. Now and then, there will be one that seems to patrol BS, exploring some of the inner passages. March is a fave time for humpies in BS -- herring are spawning then. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
