May 18th

Oh what a fantastic day. An 8am report told us that J-pod were off San Juan Island, so off we trotted at 10am, and found the whole family north bound in a leisurely manner at Turn Point. On our way home we encountered a group of Dalls with 2 hybrids within the group. We noted a second group by one of our collegues, and they had a 3rd hybrid that was a grey brown coloration with a dark dorsal. very noticable even from a distance. By the afternoon trip we were pleased to find out that J pod were south bound and were all in foraging mode from Pile Point to Eagle Point. On our way home we had a surprise pop up from a lone grey whale in Enterprise Channel off Oak Bay. A great finishing point for the days trips.
