St. Lawrence Estuary is swimming with abundance of whales
CBC
The captain of the Grand Fleuve is aboard his vessel looking out at the St. Lawrence River off the shores of Tadoussac, Que.
"As I'm talking to you," Marc Hébert said on his phone, "I've got three humpbacks about 500 feet away from me jumping in the air."
The best whale-watching season of Hébert's 25-year career will wrap up in two weeks — and he intends to cherish every moment until then.
"It's magical," said Hébert. "I think we see stuff that National Geographic would take months to film."
Echoing that sentiment is Florent DesRochers, co-owner of a local whale-watching operation, Tadoussac Autrement.
DesRochers said he hasn't seen a whale season like this in decades.
"All summer long, almost every day there were whales breaching, which is something I've never seen in the last 30 years," he said.
