Well, a wonderful day full of lots of J-pod encounters. Our morning trip found J's a few miles north of Smith Island, in U.S waters. Our visit was short but sweet, with the animals quite spread out, rostrums pointed towards San Juan. My highlight of the morning trip was the presence of a sea otter, yes a sea otter, several times off the side of our boat. I dismissed the first few glances as a seal ... then a dead head log .... then .... oh it IS a sea otter!
Our afternoon trip found us with J's once again, in undecisive mode as to whether go north or south along the west side of San Juan. It made for some great whale watching, as many individuals kept looping back and forth. Polaris was south of the group, quite offshore, and heading south.
