Well 2 trips full of surprises today. We had J-pod off San Juan Island, and saw 4 breaches, Ruffles was lunging at the surface as he pursued a salmon or two! There was 2 minkes in the midst of J’s off Salmon Bank. We had a group of 4 or 5 harbour porpoises that we were passing by, and I saw one full body breach out of the water! I was amazed. Then to top it all off we had reports of a humpback whale in the harbour no less, our first humpback of the season. We came across the young animal off Ogden Point, east bound along the shore. Excellent day!
