July 22nd


(recognise the borrowed coat Ron?)

SuperCat had 2 wonderful trips today. The first at 12.30 was in the company of K pod, spread out over the south end of San Juan. We encountered Lummi, the 96yr old matriarch, sat at the surface slightly offshore of all the others, for a good 20 seconds. We had a lovely venture through the Chain Islets (see video link below), and saw many harbour seals, some with their newborn pups.

The evening trip, as Jeff described, was beyond beautiful. The FastCat crew had gone to view K pod off False Bay, whilst we made a gamble to head north to Kellet Bluff to see J's who were southbound. It paid off, and we were treated to some wonderful views of J's in the groups passing by.



J1 (Ruffles) did a huge pectoral fin slap! The sunset was glorious, passengers were very appreciative, and we the crew were once again awestruck by these incredible mammals.
