Whale Tales – The Chase Is On – Orcas vs Minkes

By Captain Ken Rea

Today the T18s and T65Bs pursue a MINKE WHALE on a fifteen-mile chase. In the end, they gave up and the whale moved on. We never got close to the MINKE, but I could see him porpoising in the distance just like the ORCA were porpoising. Had they caught him, that would have been quite an exciting kill.
