Sept 11th

Wow, what a great interesting day! We had an early 8am trip with the people from the Regal cruise ship, and off we set, south and then west. We havent seen our residents in 6 days, and were all hoping they'd be on their way back. No luck, but a call from Adam, on Adam's fishing charters, he found a humpback! It was a young adult, and was very friendly, surfacing several times by our shut down vessel. It was quite the sight to see him/her plunge down into the abyss down and under us! Amazing. Watch these 2 videos...

Our afternoon trip had us out west again with 4 inbound transients, a male, 2 females and a calf. So after watching these animals for 30 minutes, we headed further south where FastCat had been accompanied by bowriding Dall's porpoises for the past 20 minutes! As FastCat left, the Dall's made a beeline for our bow and continued their antics. It was remarkable. Enjoy the Dall's video below!
