5 Humpback Whales Sighted!
"Humpback Whales sighted!" reports Captain Carl from onboard Island Explorer 3. Stay tuned to the Whale Report for an update from Naturalist Jami Nagel. "We headed out with our first sighting today of a California Sealion taking a snooze on on of the channel markers in Guemes Channel. He barely looked up at us as we cruised passed. We headed around the southend of Lopez Island and found ourselves at Constance bank watching 3 humpback whales as they were in resting mode. We had some amazing fluke shots as they made their deep dives and we even got the experience of smelling them (not quite as smelly as a minke whale but it will get your attention). We headed off for a look at 2 more humbacks also in rest slowly make their way toward the other 2 whales. They were nice enough to show their flukes off to!!! As we made our way back we encountered a bald eagle and several harbor seals hauled out at Coville Island. Making our way back into Guemes channel we again encountered our lazy California sealion and a friend taking up 2 of the channel markers!" -Naturalist Jami Nagel
