We spent a couple of hours searching for whales today and found four near Fritz Cove and the west side of Douglas Island. Two appeared to be traveling together. While we were watching those two, a third whale popped up in front of us. The water condition was very choppy, therefore, our encounter with these whales was brief and getting photos was nearly impossible. As we were heading in, we spotted a fourth whale just outside of the Fritz Cove/Auke Bay area. It was in the same general area that the whale we observed yesterday from false outer point was in. I did manage to get a fluke photo and positively identified it as whale #1879, aka Sasha. Although my photos from yesterday's sighting were shot from a great distance, I believe it was Sasha that we saw yesterday from false outer point. One of the whales appeared to have some scarring on its back. On May 27, 2018, I took a photo of a whale that appears to have similar scarring. I cannot help but wonder if it is the same whale.
