Today was beautiful on the water. When we arrived at San Juan Island, we found the L12's very widely spread. At times they grouped into 3's and 4's however spent most of their time milling and traveling alone. We did hear on the radio that there was some good breaching action going on however we did not see it. Early on, a young calf passed by our boat making a farting sound (see above photo) out of his blow hole and then spy hopped (above photo). We saw several females swimming independently and one even stopped to play in some kelp (see photo above). We could see Faith L57 and Skana L79 off in the distance, and on our way home, we saw a beautiful pass of Skana L79 (see photo) and then just when we were leaving, he breached right befor the boat however many of us missed the photo op. Today I got confirmation that J42 didn't make it. I suppose it only lived a couple of days.
