Minke Whales, Seals, & Eagles!
It was a perfect day to spot and see marine mammals: no wind, calm seas, and overcast skies, so there was little glare on the water.
We left Friday Harbor with a report of Minke Whales to the south at Hein Bank. Hein Bank is a place where it gets shallow due to an underwater sea mount or bank...there's kelp growing here and plenty of places for smaller fish and animals to hide around. For this reason it tends to be a great place for marine birds, seals, and Minke whales to feed...
