Breaching minke in Head Harbour Passage!

Good evening everyone!

We have been spending time with minke whales on our last four trips of the past 2 days in and around Head Harbour Passage.  This afternoon we had some fog to deal with but we got word of some minkes in a clear spot in Head Harbour Passage off Wilsons Beach, Campobello Island.  Well, to the delight and awe of our passengers one of the minke whales decided to breach a number of times, once quite close to the boat!  It is always a special sight to see any whale breach but to see a minke whale jump out of the water is a very rare sight!







We have been seeing a number of harbour seals hauling out again around Splitting Knife.



Thanks again for checking in and for everyone who joined us aboard the Quoddy Link,

Cheers,
Danielle
