L's / Juan De Fuca

Today we had one of the most adventurous rides. We crawled through some big sea rollers right from the breakwater (inner harbour) until we reached Hein bank area where the L's were travling eastward over to San Juan Island - south end. JKL pods came in early this morning, J & K headed north while the L's continued to mill about. We caught various behaviors within those large swells; high persuit hunting, tail lobbing, some breaches by adults and calves, and the odd belly roll. Many of the animals were seen traveling at high speed below the surface and one even tumbled after a fish near another boat. Quite the show. We endured yet another adventurous ride home, making you appreciate both your crew and the power of the ocean. Rachael Griffin (from M3 and LSP) joined us today and she loved every moment out there. Also slipped in a photo of Mike Grave on GPA zodiac.
