Harbour Porpoise in Boundary Passage

The Steller Sea Lions started to gather near the eastern shore of green point and Capt. Trev pushed a little further in to the passage in search of old Minke Whale that was a old regular in the northern San Juans. Dozens of Harbour Porpoise fished in a tide rip, looking for squid or perhaps small herring. The porpoise bobbed all around the Supercat just a a few hundered feet away in the current. Harbour Porpoise are most often shay and we are always sure to not interrupt thier behavior. We do not often view them at length, the 15 minutes we spent with them was interesting and we discussed the Hybrid anomally whe have witnessed in Haro Strait.
