Another beautiful, calm day in the San Juan Islands, with two of the three resident pods of Orca whales spotted in the NW corner of the archipelago. We had a great time watching J and K pods from all sides of the boat, before our 2 hour shore visit in Friday Harbor, and the leisurely cruise home.
Whales & Wildlife Report – 9/22 (Orca Whales – J & L Pods)
