The First Nations peoples of the coast know these whales more intimately and admire their family systems as well as their intelligence. There are so many ancient legends about these whales as well as modern stories. The most recent whale known to the world is Luna; an incredible story of a young whale who loved boats and people. Luna’s friendly nature brought an untimely death underneath a tugboat. Luna got too close to the spinning propeller of the tugboat and was struck dead. We will all miss this beautiful whale.

I asked Carly if she would consider combining styles and creating a very original print. She agreed, and the process of communication began. Whales have been a big part of people's lives around the Tofino neighborhood for thousands of years. There are many stories of the importance of the whale to the Nuu Chah Nulth way of life. Today, we have seen a resurgence in whales and interest in them, so much so that thousands come to Tofino every year for an experience with whales. These close contacts leave us in awe and wonder at the gentleness of these giant creatures. My first close encounter with a Grey whale happened many years ago in Grice Bay, a piece of sheltered inlet water close to Tofino. I can still see this grey whale swimming up close to my boat, going underneath the boat and coming up on the other side. The whale was very friendly and not afraid of human contact. I will never forget leaning over the side of my boat, touching the whale, and seeing its skin surface ripple in reaction to the touch of a human hand. I found it amazing that the whale could feel such a soft touch. I also remember taking a friend to see this whale who came to be known as Harmony. My friend was so moved by the experience that he could hardly get out of the boat when we returned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHarmony is an appropriate name for this creation, as it also took harmony between two artists to create this image.

She was the friendliest grey whale to visit our area, known for her love of human contact. When she arrived to Clayoquot Sound, the whale watching industry was just beginning and there were only a few people doing whale research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMy friend Sharron Carbone was one of the whale watching industry pioneers at that time. She was told of a friendly grey whale close by in Grice Bay and she set out to find it. Sharron was in a 12’ zodiac with two others in the boat when they came across the whale. This friendly whale swam beside the boat and stuck her head out of the water. Sharron amazingly reached out, hugged the whale’s head, and kissed her. She looked at this whale and thought “what amazing harmony”. From then on, the whale became lovingly known as Harmony. She stayed for the summer, feeding and visiting the whale watchers. Some people were scared of her. One boat of fisherman panicked when she came too close and injured her with their engine props when trying to get away from her. At the end of the season, Sharron didn’t come across her again, figuring she left for her journey south for the winter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt was never confirmed that Harmony visited the area again, as identifying whales in the area didn’t begin until some years later.

The morning began with a beautiful sunrise as we made our way to the halibut fishing grounds near the mouth of Rivers Inlet. We had planned to spend the day fishing for halibut, and so it began with a cruise through the coastal waters where humpback whales put on a show with numerous breaches, where they jumped clear of the ocean and land, with a monstrous splash. So amidst whales, eagles, and the ever-present seagulls, we arrived and began jigging for \u003cem\u003eHalibut\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI sang the song of my grandfather and told some of his stories as we fished. The first bite came on my rod, and before I could start the fight, my son William had a hit on his rod. The excitement increased considerably as we realized a doubleheader. As Will and I began the task of bringing our halibut to the surface, Ted and Gord coached and remained beside each of us to help. All of a sudden, Ted shouted to Gord as his rod began to dance. There we were, Dad and two sons, all with halibut on at the same time. Ted stayed calm and figured my halibut was the biggest and would take the longest to bring in, so he concentrated on Will and Gord. By the end of it all, we had three halibut in the boat and our hearts full of Joy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ll never forget that day and can think of it every time as I look at a copy of the silk-screened print of \u003cem\u003eHalibut\u003c\/em\u003e hanging on my wall at home. The octopus in the belly of the halibut harkens back to a story I always tell of seeing my first large halibut on the dock with sucker marks all over it from a fight with a large octopus, which is the favorite food of halibut.
