May 19, 2022 – An adventure to see a pair of humpback whales going North in Haro Strait. One of them is a young 5 year old named BCX1773 “Valiant”, but the other we couldn’t confirm it’s identity. New Channel was amazing and didn’t disappoint with many harbor seals resting on the islands and rocks. We also saw bunches of bald eagles.
