After a collection of sunny days, I didn't think the weather could get any nicer. However, today's weather was the best weather I have experienced since I arrived on the island at the beginning of this month. This sunshine and warm weather made the trip up to Point Roberts an enjoyable adventure. We found J Pod heading south, making the trip even more enjoyable. We had some wonderful views of J1, Ruffles, as he passed by our boat. Today the orcas were travelling in a spread out group. Also, we had a probable sighting of J28, Polaris, and other female members from J Pod. Although it took us a while to get out to the orcas, the time it took was well it worth it after getting some wonderful sights of the scenery and of J Pod. One exciting orca behavior we got to watch was J1 feeding on some salmon.

It was a great day for a boat ride and an orca sighting adventure.
