September 13, 2019 – It was fun finding 3 minke whales on Salmon Bank and sailing with a humpback whale (ID# MMX0006 aka “Double Drop”). The rain held out and it was a beautiful trip drifting in the glassy seas listening to all the common murres calling out and hearing the big exhale of the humpback. It was a fun day!
