Dall's Porpoises The Great Alaska Bow Riders in Prince William Sound Alaska while Saltwater Fishing
I shot this video in Prince William Sound Alaska. These are Dall's Porpoise bow riding our boat beneath my reflection. It was a perfect day on the water with Mrs. Ruth and my good friend Capt. Bob. One of this Summer's most amazing days.
Dall's porpoises are compact, muscular porpoises that rival killer whales as the fastest marine mammals in Alaska waters. Their black backs and white bellies and flanks resemble the markings of killer whales, but they are much smaller, averaging about six feet in length and weighing about 300 lbs (136 kg). They are fast swimmers and often generate a rooster tail spray that can be visible at long distances.
Dall's porpoises typically travel in groups of 2 to 20 animals. They often bow ride, a behavior that is ideal for wildlife watching. The bow of a moving ship creates a pressure wave in the water, like the blast of wind that follows a passing truck. Porpoises and dolphins sidle up to a boat and swim just below the surface, riding in the pressure wave.
The similarly-sized Pacific white-sided dolphin, popular performers at oceanariums, often travel in multi-species herds of tens to several thousand animals. Like the Dall's porpoise with whom they sometimes travel, they are fast swimmers and common bow riders but the Pacific white-sided dolphin will fully breach while swimming while the Dall's porpoise rarely shows its flukes.
Harbor porpoises average about 120 lbs (55 kg), are gray or dark brown, and have noticeably smaller dorsal fins than those of Dall's porpoises. They are often described as shy, but it is more appropriate to say they are indifferent to boats and human activities. They do not bow ride but are often spotted in calm seas when their rounded backs gently break the surface with rolling motions.
People often confuse porpoises with dolphins, but the two come from distinctly different families. Dolphins usually have beaks and more noticeable dorsal fins. Porpoises are usually smaller without the pronounced melons or beaks.
Habitat
The Dall's porpoise is found in Alaska coastal waters as far north as the Bering Sea. Pacific white-sided porpoises travel as far north as Kodiak Island and are present in the Aleutians and Gulf of Alaska. Harbor porpoises may be found as far north as the Beaufort Sea in ice-free months.
Viewing
I shot this video yesterday in Prince William Sound Alaska. Watching these guy's ride our bow in my reflection was an awesome experience. Perfect day on the Sound in the company of Mrs. Ruth and my friend Capt. Bob is about as good as it get's.
Look for Dall's porpoises or Pacific white-sided dolphins any time you are traveling in Alaska's coastal waters. They may be catching a free ride on the bow-wave of your boat. Harbor porpoises stay closer to shore in waters less than 300 ft deep.
Farmers of the sea
HALIBUT COVE, ALASKA — The shimmering surface of the briny water is, on some days, broken by the massive breach of humpback whales, releasing audible exhalations and glistening geysers of steam from their blowholes.
Other days, slate-colored seals slide through the salt after baitfish, and, on at least one occasion, they witnessed an orca gulping down an unobservant sea otter, not 300 feet from their skiff.
Rockwell and Vera Bates — 7 and 5 years old, respectively — have no idea that the 7-mile skiff ride they take to school is exceptional, even in Alaska. Nor is the mariculture life forged by their parents here.
“They were born into it, so it’s all they’ve ever known,” said their mother, Weatherly Bates, 33. She and husband, Greg, 34, are year-round commercial shellfish farmers in Kachemak Bay, providing oysters and mussels for local, state and nationwide distribution.

Defensive Diving: What Every Tender Should Know About Dive Harvest Safety
Defensive Diving: What Every Tender Should Know About Dive Harvest Safety, introduces dive tenders to vessel safety, basic dive operations, and dive emergencies. It is an invaluable tool for commercial dive harvesters or any divers who want their onboard tenders to be able to respond quickly and appropriately to an emergency, be it an air compressor failure, a vessel problem, or an urgent medical situation.
Through a dramatized orientation of a new tender and interviews with divers who have survived mishaps, this film provides viewers with an overview of a tender's role in safe dive operations.
Produced by Ellen Frankenstein for the Alaska Marine Safety Education Association with funding provided by the U.S. Coast Guard and the State of Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, & Economic Development, in cooperation with the Southeast Alaska Regional Dive Fisheries Association.

Seeing the Aleutians by Ferry - the MV Tustumena, July 2019
Jon, Joy, and Paul Sharpe took the MV Tustumena from Homer to Dutch Harbor and back in early July 2019. This was a bucket list item for all of them for decades. Admittedly, the weather was phenomenal, so what you see in this video may not represent accurately the conditions someone might encounter if they book a trip in the future. At one point the Captain/Pilot on the ferry got on the mic to tell us that in 15 years he could count on one hand the number of times he'd seen Frosty Peak that clearly. That was the story for much of the voyage. They told us before we went that the rain is usually horizontal, to bring lots of dramamine, and that the Tustumena is famous for rolling with the waves. We ended the trip with all of our dramamine unopened (four packages of it). The Tustumena does roll quite a bit, even in a moderate swell (got to 10 feet or so) on a beautiful day, but it didn't bother us - we were too focused on looking at the scenery. We slept on the deck on the way out to Dutch Harbor, but on the return we booked a four bunk stateroom. The round trip fare for an adult was $812, and for a senior it was $615 (approximately...can't remember exactly). The stateroom, one-way was $502. The Tustumena is scheduled to be replaced, perhaps next year. And, of course, the whole state ferry system could be drastically reduced by Governor Dunleavy who is dealing with a very difficult budget situation. Both of those circumstances made us decide to take this trip now, rather than wait. It may not exist much longer.

Alaska 2014 - Salmon Sharks and much more
Our group went in search of Salmon Sharks with Big Fish Expeditions and Dive Alaska, staying at Alaska's Ravencroft Lodge, in Valdez, Alaska. It was a great trip! The sharks were a bit skittish and not easy to approach. We were, however, able to coax a few close to the boat by feeding them Herring and by using fishing poles with no hooks to draw them close for photo and video ops. Many of the sharks wanted nothing to do with the free meals, but others were quite willing to accept our offerings. We also did some nice diving around Prince William Sound and we swam up to the mouth of a river to observe the Salmon getting ready for their journey upstream.
