Lekkerrrrrrrrrrrrr koud ! But then we can still be so privileged for residing in St Lucia , as  it’s freeeeeeZing inland !

We ((obviously)) have been off the water the last 2 days with the gale force winds , but prior to that had excellent whale watching trips , and paging back through the 2006 diary I see we had much the same weather last year , with 6 consecutive days end of June canceling trips  , but then after that continued again with a bumper whale watching season !

 I’ve been very ‘’leanient’’ this year with our clientele , you will recall that last year I made them get up much earlier , but seeing that the June bookings were so quiet  , I pushed the departure times forward with about 30-60 minutes , however once the bulk of our visitors arrive , we’ll be asking again that we ‘’train’’ our clients (((( jaaaaaaa , get up quite e.a.r.l.y )))) that the 1st trip departs about 06h30 , and then thereafter every 2nd hour .

I want to spin off an idea to some of the lodges , to use as a “”marketing tool””  next year to lure some more clientele over the ‘’quiet’’ June month  - IF you are prepared to offer your guests a discounted rate over JUNE , we are prepared to offer them a FREE Hippo/Croc Trip for every Whale Watching ticket bought ! ( something to think about )

Please again to remind clientele that on the whale watching tour they might get a splash damaging camera equipment , WE DO MAKE AND SELL the PERSONALIZED DVD of each and every trip  , which can be bought at THE WHALE SHOP , and it’s best to invest in the dvd before having to maybe buy a new camera .

The dvd’s has extra additional whale and hippo footage besides that days’ trip as well .

Please just remember that we can only accept bookings from lodges/guesthouses/agents if you take responsibility over those bookings – we can’t take bookings and then have half the said establishments phoning the night before to cancel clientele , as throughout the day we show many potential clientele away from our office due to the boat being ‘’full’’ , so no last minute cancellations please . We’ll only accept cancellations made a full 36 hours prior to departure .

If you have any questions whatsoever please either phone me or Joey in the office .
