It was raining today but flat calm out on the water. We traveled east to where most of the southern residents were feeding - most of them had traveled down Rosario Strait. We arrived to find most of the animals spread far apart individually, maybe in two's and sometimes three's. They were situated all the way from the shoreline of south San Juan Island out into the middle of the strait.
Soon after arriving, we were graced by a mother and calf who passed by our bow very close. We saw L74 / Saanich and L79 / Skana as both of them individually passed close by as well. We also caught a social moment as a male spy hopped approximately 200 yards from our bow. For the most part the animals stayed in a feeding pattern throughout our trip. The dark skies and waters made for excellent photographic contrasts. Fall is definately here. It's amazing to think that we have been out on the water 8 months now. Time sure flies when your having fun :)
