Mt. Baker above and Mt. Rainier below.

It was a foggy start today but it did not stop us from seeing an abundance of wildlife that included 3 Minke Whales in the afternoon, Hundreds of Harbor Porpoise, Harbor Seals, Bald Eagles and Dalls Porpoise.

Unlike yesterdays blustery conditions, today the sea was flat calm and with a warm sun being out on the water was a real treat. We also got a rare sight of Mt. Rainier to the south and a stunning sight of Mt. Baker lit up by the setting sun!
