It’s been such a beautiful day! Blue skies, light breeze, and in the 70s. It’s going to be like this everyday through Labor Day Weekend. Can you believe it’s forecasted to be in the 80s mid week? Crazy!
Captain Brian and Naturalist Tiffany had a really cool whale watch earlier today. The resident pods & transients have proven to be out of the area and elusive again! BUT! As they were motoring out to Haro Strait, they got another amazing surprise. The Sea Hawk was out in the middle of the Strait when a group of over a dozen Harbor porpoise surfaced near the boat and started playing in the wake. Captain Brian shut down the engines and let the cute little ones swim along. Harbor porpoise is one of six species of porpoise, which grow to be about 6 feet in length and less than 175lbs. Little guys!
Guests on the Sea Hawk also saw several bald eagles eating a salmon on one of the Cactus Islands. The Cactus Islands are a group of islands located Northwest of Spieden Island. Lastly, there were over 50 harbor seals hauled out on Sentinel Rock, which is on the opposite side of Spieden Island.
