As we headed north out of the harbor Captain Mike got an update about a humpback whale up near the western point of Saturna Island in Canadian waters. Naturalists Emily and Kevin, and the guests on board, were please to find a juvenile humpback doing regular surfacing around every 5 minutes. With a tail fluke up, that we all though to be a long dive, the young humpback came up for a full breach! From then on we saw lots of pectoral slaps and twirling! After departing the joyful humpback we checked out a group of stellar sea lions and a pair of nesting bald eagles! Another great day of the water!
