Orca sightings have been a bit sparse this week — transient orcas have only been spotted twice by U.S. boats.  Western Prince Tours found a nice group of very playful Pacific White Sided Dolphins, and we have had lots of reports of active minke whales in the area, along with large groups of feeding harbor porpoise.  Other wildlife being seen includes seals, sea lions, Dall’s porpoise, eagles and seabirds.  Cheers from Capt. Hobbes and the PWWA
