Humpback drops by Griffin Bay…
Posted June 16, 2009 at 8:18 am by Ian Byington
I reported to you yesterday that a humpback was seen on the west side of the island this weekend – looks like he/she may have wandered to the other side. Here’s a report from San Juan Safaris‘ Tristen, from the Orca Network’s e-mail blast:
June 13: Our evening tour spent time with a Humpback Whale on the 13th. We think that it was the same animal from the day before, but this time it was in Griffin Bay at about 6pmj. It was feeding in the current of the flood tide that was rushing through Cattle Pass. We tracked the whale as it traveled out through the pass and then lost sight of it in the rough water.
There were no views of the flukes, but the animal was very active swimming up and down the channel as well as from side-to-side.
