I have never seen a whale from BC shores. At the aquarium, years ago, but I have seen fin whales in the wild when I was a kid in the Sea of Cortez. That was amazing.

I was imagining them to be a common sight there! Misconceived impressions. I was standing on the beach once in Mexico talking to one of my kids and had my back to the water when suddenly everyone on the beach started saying did you see it? It was a killer whale! I missed it, but the kids saw it. That's as close as I've been!

That's pretty good. No you pretty much have to go whale watching to see them. There is too much boating traffic on my stretch of water.
