Aug 26th

SuperCats 12.30 trip today was somewhere south of San Juan, and somewhere east of Discovery Island! We gladly heard the reports that it was SuperPod (90 orcas - all 3 pods!) out there, but we also heard there were 100+ boats out there (private, commercial and research). Once there though, they all seemed to be on their lunch break, as were J pod!!



We had lovely little J groupings, lazing around, milling. Ruffles was ascending to the surface alot slower than usual. He's a graceful old gent.





Our evening trip was out in the same area with J's and L's all mixed up, foraging. We had some great encounters with Ruffles, Blackberry, Gaia, J14 and J40, and a final group of L pod which included L2 (Grace) and family. See video links ...
