Fins, minkes and RED HEADED greys!

Hello everyone, we had another great day on the water and today the weather wasn't an issue....a little over cast and hazy in the morning but you know what, the whales don't care if it's sunny!  We spent time with finbacks and minkes on both our 10am and 2pm trips.

The highlight of my day was our stop with the seals on our afternoon trip where we saw 4 red headed grey seals!  There is some discussion as to why this colouration happens, everything from a higher iron concentration in the water to genetics to a natural change in fur colour....so we are not sure why some are red headed but I was giggling with excitement when I saw 4 of them today!







Thanks for checking in,
Cheers,
Danielle
