Whale Watching San Juan Island Near Seattle

Friday, August 22, 2008

What bay is this?? FRIDAY!

With the weather once again feeling like summer...we ventured north in the direction of Vancouver, BC where the Orcas were reported to be heading south. By the time we reached Orcas Island we heard they were moving away from us, northbound. Far from our reach...not too worry....there's plenty of other wildlife to see here in the San Juan Islands! We spent a beautiful afternoon island touring past National Wildlife Refuges such as Flattop Island & White Rocks and we spotted harbor seals hauled out, bald eagles, cormorants, and auklets. A mother harbor porpoise and calf played in our wake off our stern as we came around Green Point, off Speiden! We were able circle all of Stuart Island and and enjoy stunning views of Mount Baker with some fresh snow atop! Our guests enjoyed the trip and a chance to see the abundance of nature the San Juans have to offer!
