On our first tour, we started out seeing Harbor Seals and Bald Eagles. We then met up with the T37A’s T36B’s and others. They had apparently killed a seal along the way before we arrived.
One pic shows what is left of a Harbor Seal. I find it hard to recognize it as a seal. They dragged it along, feeding on it as they swam by. Seagulls dove for bits of leftovers.
Then we saw Sika Deer, Mouflon Sheep, and Fallow Deer. One of the two albinoes Fallow Deer on Spieden Island was there.
For the afternoon tour, we headed north into Canadian waters. It was there we saw the T37A’s including the young one T37A4. He has the bent dorsal fin from an injury.
In a couple pics, you can see whales in front of Patos Island Lighthouse and Cherry Point refinery. I used to haul petroleum from these refineries to west coast ports.
It was a very beautiful day on the water and many whales the T37A’s T36B’s and others in the area for viewing.
