A great afternoon paddle where we rode the ebb out to Big Fishtrap and the flood on the return. It was a spring tide so the current was moving. In the channel of Dana Passage we noticed some interesting glimpses and flashes of something uncommon. As we looked more closely, we saw the rise and dip of dorsal fins. Before long, we saw more and more of them. Harbor porpoises, maybe a dozen or so. Likely feeding in the upwelling of the current. I tried my best to photograph them with my waterproof camera, but photos just don't do the experience justice.
