Todays three trips were in the company of our resident orcas off San Juan Island. Our 9am trip found groups of J's, K's and L's all spread out and making a bee line for San Juan. 55yr old Ruffles was being a cheeky old devil by accompanying Raggedy, who is in her mid 40's. Cappucino was travelling with some K and L ladies, as they all headed north!

By the afternoon trip we heard that J's had scooted further north, so we viewed mainly L's off Lime Kiln and Hannah Heights. The L12's were having a snooze, all grouped up in the park, in a slow south bound direction impeeded by the flooding tide!

The evening trip was spent over at Salmon Bank, with mainly L pod whales. Mega and Alexis were hunting and zigging all over the place in search of a salmon snack or 2! L78 (Onyx) surfaced off the stern all of a sudden, and surprised our group stood there.

Everyone on board enjoyed their trip immensely, and we enjoyed their company too. Excellent day.
