Multiple Minke Whales on Middle Bank

October 13, 2022 – Extremely fun sailing adventure with repeat guests/friends out to Middle Bank where we found three or maybe four minke whales.  A pair of them were traveling side by side for awhile, too. We also saw bald eagles, harbor seals, sea lions, and many different types of birds including various gulls and cormorants, murres, auklets, scoters and loons.
