Telegraph Cove Resort 2008 Season

Telegraph Cove Resort has opened for it's 2008 season, we opened May 1 and things are going well. Something new to report Gordie has opened a coffee shop, the Cove Coffee Company and it is located where Mrs. P's little store was just down past the Killer Whale Cafe. The Whale Watching tours have been going out for a couple of weeks now they saw a Humpback Whale on June 7 and have been seeing lots of Dall's Porpoise, harbour seals, steller seal lions, duck and bald eagles. The resident orca's have not arrived yet but they will be coming soon enough. The Grizzly Bear tours have also been going out and have been seeing lots of grizzly bears and along the way have been seeing lots of marine wild life. Things are picking up fast here at the Cove, cabins booking up fast for July and August and don't forget about our Craft Fair on Aug. 2 here on the boardwalk.
As for the fishing is was slow going in the beginning, but then the halibut started coming in we had some guests come in with a 77lb and 68lb halibut. On June 7th we had our first Spring Salmon of the season come in 28lbs caught by Janet Baker. Maybe this is a sign that the springs are coming early.
