I love that each day on our waters is so unique and we can never predict what we will see. Although we spent time with orcas yesterday, days tours were spent looking at 2 large Minke whales. We traveled into American waters to an area called Hein Bank, the water depth is much less then most of the surrounding strait, providing a lot of nutrients and wildlife in the area. We sat back and watched the whales as they surfaced and filter fed on the small fish. As well, we stopped at Trial, Chain and Chatham islands to look at the seals, bald eagles, cormorants, arbutus trees and bull kelp that add to the beautiful surroundings of water and snow capped mountains. I am pleased each day to share our spectacular home with guests.
