"We started our journey in Rosario Strait where a Minke Whale made a surprise visit, then disappeared after a couple of quick looks! We continued north in search of whales. At Peapod Rocks we visited with Harbor Seals & a mature Bald Eagle perched atop the rocks! As we headed north through the Strait of Georgia we received word that 2 of the 3 Southern Resident pods of Orcas were seen headed west. That left L pod unaccounted for. We continued our search and as we ventured south we discovered 4 Brown Pelicans on Bird Rocks! During the afternoon we headed south in hopes to find L pod. It was later confirmed that all 3 pods had headed west. On occasion the Orcas of J, K, & L pods will head west towards the Pacific for a day or two and then return to the San Juan Islands. We do guarantee whales and all of our guests today will enjoy another opportunity to join us again for free to see whales! Even though some of our guests saw the Minke Whale, we pride ourselves in a quality trip where our guests get great looks at whales! We did however see Harbor Porpoise, Bald Eagles, Pigeon Guillemots, Glaucous-winged Gulls, Harbor Seals, Rhinoceros Auklets & 3 Peregrine Falcons!!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
