Halloween humpback

For two years in a row we have had amazing experiences with whales on Halloween.  In 2016 we watched humpbacks feeding near Ketchikan.  In 2017 we watched a pod of orcas feeding near Juneau.  I was hoping we would have a similar experience this year.  We spent several hours and covered a lot of ground in search of whales.  From point retreat, through north pass, to Benjamin Island.  We decided to check Fritz Cove before heading in and finally spotted a lone humpback just outside of Auke Bay.  I missed getting a fluke photo, but it was exciting to find that there is at least one humpback still in the area.  *Photos taken with a 600mm lens*
