I have not seen porpoises but this weekend we shared the the spot with a sunning seal. As we approached it was sunning itself on the river left ledge. We floated through the middle of the rapid and hung out lower in the eddy. It watched us and slipped into the water, then swam up the rapid a couple of times before climbing back up on the ledge and continued sunning. It kept one eye on us for a while as we came up the eddy to play. As the water dropped and the seal was elevated above us it paid less attention. Eventually there were six paddlers using the eddy. Combining with the great water (tide 10.5 ft.) and great fall weather, it was a magical afternoon.
