From the Wheelhouse:

We didn't have any orcas today but what a humpback whale day!  We witnessed Twister the humpback in the kelp bed with Steller sea lions around.  The humpback was bugling as if to say 'back off and get your own kelp bed'.  We also had a minke whale, bow-riding Dall's porpoise, Steller sea lions and harbour seals.  We had a real treat with the Dall's porpoise, there was a calf actively keeping up with the group in the boat wake   A great group of eagles fishing and then fighting over the catch.

It was one of those days with not a breathe of wind, super lighting for photography and warm   Just like the folks from Britian say 'BRILLIANT'! 

Captain Waynes quote of the day:

"Money doesn't go very far these days....but it sure stays away a long time."  Anon
