Orca Whales and Sea Lions

Captain Carl reports Orca Whales in sight. Stay tuned for updates from today's tour.

We started our day off traveling along the backside of Guemes Island and proceeded through Peavine Pass where we found harbor seals hauled out. As the weather improved and Captain Carl got the word, we made our way out through Cattle Pass and up the east side of Haro Strait. We met up with some orcas that were inbound from Victoria. We had a few great looks as Surprise swam by the boat with a young one in tow. We spent some quality time with the whales as they moved southbound, allowing us to spend more time with them. As we headed back home, Captain Carl found a California sea lion hauled out on the Salmon Bank channel marker. What a great find! The sea lion looked up lazily from his perch to check us out. We also found a pair of Bald Eagles at Colville Island. It was a fabulous day on the water with amazing wildlife and great water!
