1, 2, 3 minke whales

Good evening everyone,
We had a great trip this afternoon and it was great to get back on the water after 2 days due to weather.  We spent time today with 3 minke whales in Head Harbour Passage, and there appeared to be lots of feed in the passage as there were large groups of gulls as well.  We also made time to visit with seals, bald eagles, porpoise and Whitehorse Island (a seabird nesting site where we saw gulls, black-legged kittiwakes, cormourants and black guillemots).  We also spotted our first sooty shearwater of the season just off Whitehorse as well,
