Today on our tours in the morning and afternoon we were lucky to encounter not just one but up to three Minke Whales near Hein Bank. With temperatures in the 30's the water was the best place to be on such a gorgeous day and all our passengers enjoyed the wonders of the Salish Sea.
Minke Whales are a Balean Whale (filter feeder) and congregate around Hein Bank because their food gets concentrated here. These curious Rorquals (from the Norwegian word Rorhval, meaning furrow) has a series of pleats or foalds that they use to filter their food.
We also saw a number of harbor Porpoise, Dalls Porpoise, Harbor Seals and Bald Eagles during todays tours.
