Aug. 20th - Aboard the "MV Lukwa"

Dante and Deb board the MV Lukwa from Telegraph Cove to whale watch.
Unfortunately, it was not in the cards to see Orcas but there were other creatures to be enjoyed.
The Lukwa's sister ship MV Gikumi is surprised by a large Humpback Whale!

This Humpback's fluke cascades water just before a deep dive.
This Humpback is fondly known as "Freckles" because of the white spots near it's dorsal fin.

Scars from an encounter with a propeller marks the hump on this whale's back.

Steller Seals cling to the rocks on Stubbs Island.

Gulls dive on a bait ball in Johnstone Strait.

Returning to Port McNeill we spotted this shy black bear along the roadside.
