This was taken on May 2, 2016 by Captain Cy of Strike Zone Sportfishing. More news here http://www.alaskastrikezone.com/about... Our (whale) friend has been feeding right in front of Knudson Cove Marina for the last 3 days!

Looking at Google Earth, that marina is in an area that gets really deep, really quickly. The shoreline around it looks about 45 deg slopes.
