I have been told that whales in the inlet are very uncommon. They often come around soon after or just before an elder passes away. In the few days surrounding the whale visit, there were 3 deaths in town.

Friday night whale watch
Last Friday night we got a call from the neighbour 'Come see the whale in the inlet close to the hospital!" So we pulled a 'Schmidtty' (or u-turn) and headed back towards the village and stopped on the side of the road, along with dozens of other cars, and we got out to see the grey whale. A pic hardly does it justice but you can see the spray... and imagine the sound; it is like water being blown out of a snorkel. And the sound carried so well across the flat water. Almost made me jump if I was not ready and watching to see where the whale would surface.
