Narrow Cape, Surfer Beach and Downtown Whales

Early Sunday morning there were 10+ gray whales cruising through the Ugak Strait off Narrow Cape.  Another 15 were spotted from Surfer Beach a little later in the morning. It was during an extremely low tide and the whales were quite a distance from the shore, but viewing was great! We spotted a few backs and even a flipper or two. 

Later in the afternoon, there were reports of three orcas in the harbor area...doing what they normally do this time of year - pursuing sea lions.  Keep your eyes open over the next few days because they often return from another visit.  Happy whale watching!
