Spent more time in Clover Pass and spotted the first humpback out toward the Behm Canal. The water got a bit choppy so we started heading back to Knudson Cove when we noticed spouting and splashing near Clover and Betton Island. Upon our arrival, we counted six feeding humpbacks in the area. Two of the whales, who appeared to be the largest of the group, were thrashing their flukes on the surface of the water. They would leave the group, but the two of them seemed to stick together. The rest of the whales were lunge feeding, seemingly on top of each other at times. The sound of all the blows and water movement was impressive, and we heard one whale "trumpet" as he/she surfaced. After leaving the area we briefly went back out of Clover Pass and immediately saw four more humpbacks in the area.
