Beautiful day for watching whales today! 

On our way out, we passed by two large pods of harbor porpoises before finding some large whales. We saw four humpback whales at our first stop—two singles and one pair. 

One whale was slowly traveling while another was circling and even approached the boat! The pair was moving around the area, side by side, mostly coordinating their dives almost perfectly! These whales were Patches, Streetlight, Solo, and Spoon. 

We moved to a different area and found three humpback whales, slightly spread out. Most of our time was spent with Owl, while Clamp and Satula were seen in the distance. Satula breached once in the distance but quickly calmed down and swam alongside us before diving. 

    

As we were about to head home, a fin whale was seen nearby! Fin whales are enormous- the second-largest whale on the planet! But we were out of time and had to start our trek back to the harbor.

I’m looking forward to seeing what the weekend brings!
