July 20, 2017 – A whale trifecta! 4 minkes on Salmon Bank, Biggs/Transient orcas T46B’s and a humpback whale. An amazing day!! It was minke soup out there! What a special treat to get a look at rare gray/white orca calf, T46B1B. So many magical moments – some days it’s hard to believe what we saw really happened and that its not a dream. This sail was one of those days.
