Whale watching

This isn't in any particular order because cruise lines visit these in different order.

In Juneau, I think that is the best port for whale watching.

My number one tour would be a combo tour, which includes Whale Watching and Mendenhall Glacier.

The Whale Watching is superb in Juneau.

And then where most of the Whale Watching ships leave from, you have to drive right past Mendenhall Glacier.

So you might as well book a tour that also includes that.

And you spend about an hour or so at Mendenhall Glacier where you can go to the visitor center, learn about the glacier.

No,

but I did go whale watching over the weekend.

Oh my God, how was it? We went out and it was actually amazing.

Like, we saw these humpback whales and I was just like, God, how my Sundays have changed.

We do know a lot of Canadians have chosen to travel across Canada and a lot of local tourism operators are seeing the impact of that.

Hi, Walter.

Okay, have a great day.

Thanks.

Grace McDonald called from Denman Island, British Columbia.

Okay.

Have you ever been out, have you ever been whale watching?

No.

I got a text message.

Some of the videos you see people paddle boarding in orcas come up, terrifying.

But really cool.

I do recommend going whale watching if you can.

We did it out of Victoria Harbor.

But other than that, life is relatively normal for us.

We are gearing up very shortly to go to Harvey Bay to do some whale watching, which I'm very excited about.

I've always wanted to see whales out in the wild.

So hopefully we get lucky on the day we're up.

I...

Since I recorded that video, I just spent today whale watching just to calm down, and the whale has made me feel a whole lot better.

In that video, let me just give folks a little bit of background, I think we tried to make two important points.

One, that when the Census Bureau, an official statistical organization that is meant to be independent, meant to have a non-partisan head, that has had a rel- a, a long and illustrious history of telling important truths, and that has been devoted to measuring the truth and reporting the truth without fear or favor and no partisanship whatsoever, when it shifts to releasing propaganda, which it just did for the first time in its history, that's a moment.

But I agree.

Yes.

I've been whale [laughs] I've been whale watching.

It is, it is probably one of the most wondrous things you can see and do, that's for sure.
