Orcas at Hein Bank

This morning we left Friday Harbor with very calm and glassy seas. It was a very beautiful morning, perfect for watching the whales and all the other wild life. Our first leg of the journey took us through the Cactus islands where were saw an abundance of Harbor Seals and their pups. We proceeded through Johns pass and travelled the North Shore of Stuart Island where we watched a Bald Eagle overlooking the water from its perch, probably looking for a good meal. After making our turn to the south at "Turn point" we continued on to Hein Bank where we topped off our morning spending time with the Orca. Members of both J and L pods making their way to the west side of San Juan Island to feed. This was a wonderful way to wrap up our trip around the island.
