No orca whale reports today, BUT as we pulled out of Friday Harbor the Captain received word of a humpback whale by Halibut Island, Canada. It took us nearly an hour to get to the location but there it was â a beautiful humpback whale. It looked as though it was feeding the entire time we were with it â almost ½ an hour. When it dove down, one could see many of the âknucklesâ on itâs back. Two of the many dives it waved it tail gently before disappearing into the water. Speaking of water, the depth of the water in that location was about 150 feet deep.
This was the last tour of the season.
