March 29 - Wildlife Trip


The FastCat encountered approximately 50 to 60 Dall's porpoises foraging in Haro Strait. It was amazing to shut down and watch small different foraging groups all around the vessel. We had a beautiful pass off the bow of the boat by a Hybrid Dall's porpoise (a cross between a Dall's and a Harbour porpoise), which is becoming more and more common in the Salish Sea. We also had encounters with harbour seals and Bald eagles in and around Chatum, Discovery and Chain islands. Enjoy the photo of the hybrid porpoise.
