Well the whales didn’t seem to mind a little rain, nor did the visitors! The WWSH volunteers were able to educate over 1,200 visitors yesterday about the gray whale migration and more.

The volunteer locations spotted over 80 whales yesterday in some pretty tough conditions. Most of us dealt with some off and on rain and some dense fog, but the south coast had it a little better.

Shore Acres reported 30 whales

Face Rock and Cook’s Chasm both reported 9

Battle Rock had 8

The Whale Center in Depoe Bay watched 7 swim by and had an additional 700 folks come in and look for these gentle giants. 1,900 visitors on day one is an excellent turn out.

Thank you everyone!
