A diving whale
A large one judging from the tail size
Ready to dive
Going down
Slipping under the surface
Will re-surface in a few minutes
Water drips off of the tail
They look gentle, but they are not
Going down
Whale blow
Rising up to dive
There he goes
They are identified by their tails
Rising high
Going down
Each tail is marked differently
No notching and color is the same
Blowing
Hunting
Eating constantly
Disappearing
Scenic bay
A dash of blue sky
Two humpbacks
Much smaller dorsal fin compared to the orcas
Diving
Here comes the raised tail
This one was large
They need to eat constantly (like cruise ship passengers)
Beautiful bay
Whale blowing
Does look like a real hump in the back
Lifting that tail
Going deep
They can hold their breath for quite a while
Arching
Lifting
Diving
The best spot was on the back deck
Heading back to the dock in Auke Bay
Loaded with gulls
Boats in the small marina
Several viewing boats
The parking lot
Back to the ship by 6pm or so
Time to take a stroll
A wall mural
Not a lot of traffic today
Downtown
Quiet for a Monday
Gift shop
A few fall trees
The Twisted Fish Restaurant was closed for the season
The Ruby Princess
The Nieuw Amsterdam – a sister to the Eurodam
The Red Dog Saloon at dusk
Three ships in a row
The outside central elevator
