Humpbacks in Nichols Passage

Long distance whale watching throughout the day today.  The first whale was observed swimming north along the shores of Annette Island.  Several hours later, at least three humpbacks were seen near Gravina Island close to the west channel of the Tongass Narrows.  The whales seemed to stay in that general area for several hours.  It was difficult to determine how many whales there where due to distance, but I can make out three whales in several photos.  The photos are blurry due to distance.
