QUIETLY WATCHING A MINKE WHALE

QUIETLY WATCHING A MINKE WHALE as it surfaces is this kayaker off Campobello Island. Local whale-watching boats have recently been seeing quite a few whales, including Gonzo, Breadknife, Stumpy, Bruce, Batman and Rudolph. In Atlantic Canada, boaters are required to maintain a 100-metre buffer zone from any whales. (Don Dunbar photo)
