Whale Watching Report

What a beautiful day full of sunshine and wildlife! Captain Michael kept us out of the fog the entire day! We found a bald eagle perched on Guemes Island and another on Cypress Island. We saw some harbor porpoise swimming in Rosario Strait. We went through Peavine Pass and eventually made it out to San Juan Channel. At Whale Rocks, we found two Steller sea lions hauled out as well as a couple in the water. We made our way out to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and up San Juan Island. We found some L-pod orcas near False Bay. They were headed down island. The first whales we saw were Alexis and Ocean Sun. Then Solstice and Mystery showed us how big they are getting! Calypso and her new calf L113 gave us a great look. L113 swam by the boat and you could see her looking up at us under the water. It was amazing! Next, Spirit and Skana swam by the starboard side of the boat. Skana even swam around the stern, giving us even a better look at how big he is! Before we left, we spent a little more time with Solstice as he chased some fish! On our way back, we did a slow down through the south end of Lopez Island and Castle Rock. It was such a gorgeous day out on the water!

L113 giving us a nice look!
