Sept 26 on the Prince of Whales

What a beautiful day today! Fall is my favorite time to go whale watching as we never know what to expect from week to week. Today we were graced by a trio of finback whales. These whales were doing 8-10 minute dives but not moving too far in between so we could get some great looks!

On our way back in, after a fabulous close last look at the finbacks, we did see a humpback whale briefly. It was taking longer dives and resurfaced a bit of a distance away so we were not able to tell which humpback whale it was. The image below shows the distinctive lumpy "hump"back's back and fin.

Thanks to all the adventurous folks who braved the chilly temps today!

We were on the afternoon trip on Sept 26 and saw the rare Right whales. Do you have any pics to post? We had a great time and hope to return some day when the weather is a bit warmer.
