Today we arrived at San Juan Island to find the L12's traveling and milling about. Saw L79 / Skana traveling (top two photos) as well as another small group. The animal's behavior was low key for most of the trip however near the end things kicked up. L41 / Mega gave us a spectacular pass (see surfacing series above), while a female was doing belly rolls (see photo above), cart wheels, spy hops and breaches. As we were leaving, I had this funny feeling someone was going to jump out of the water and they did. A bit far away but that's ok, it still was a beautiful moment. We were also lucky to see some Dall's porpoise milling about on our way home. Today was warm and sunny, a perfect day for a journey on the ocean.
