Humpbacks near Clover Passage

While riding the ferry from Ketchikan to Juneau, approximately eight humpbacks were observed in the Clover Passage area.  At least six of the whales appeared to be traveling together, with two more off on their own.  

It was a bit frustrating being on the ferry rather than our boat, but it was a wonderful send off for us as we said our goodbyes to Ketchikan to start a new adventure in Juneau.  When we first arrived in Ketchikan, nearly a year and a half ago, I hoped that I might get to see both humpbacks and orcas.  I never imagined just how many I would see.  I will forever miss the beaches, bike path, favorite boating areas, and the amazing view I had from our deck in Ketchikan.  However, I look forward to observing and sharing photos of the whales I am sure I will see in Juneau.
