Whale Watching San Juan Island Near Seattle

Monday, June 30, 2008

South is the direction. The direction is south!

Today was a glorious day. It was warm in town and cool on the water. It made the sun much more bearable with the light breeze on deck. It was very pleasant, and the water was beautiful if a bit rough sometimes.

We went south past cattle point on San Juan Island today. Orcas were in small groups. Some of them were identified as from the k-pod family. We saw a female K-40 "Raggedy" and a larger male K-21 "Cappuccino" swimming together often. Today was a day for fishing. They would wind and dive down in place, feeding in the afternoon. The salty air and the orcas eating salmon made me want to eat my favorite sushi! Look out, Friday Harbor! I have a mission!
