Sept 15th

Our morning trip had a wonderful variety of encounters. We visited the harbour seals in Chain Islets, and then ventured on south of Discovery Island, where Ian on Cetacean had found a minke whale in the glassy waters of the morning. The people on board were very enthusiastic, and enjoyed the encounter, and the searching for where the minke would pop up next! We then had bow riding Dall's porpoises on the way to Race Rocks, where we saw the seals and sealions.
The afternoon trip found us in the company of the T30's who were south bound in Boundary Strait. The T30's consist of T30 herself, her eldest son, and 2 other juveniles. Excellent encounter. Enjoy the 2 video links below...
