The SuperCat and FastCat both ventured out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca with a group from MYK. Although the trip was a bit lumpy, we had wonderful encounter with J pod (one of the three southern resident pods). J pod probably came in during the night from the West following a small run of salmon, and we encountered them as they were heading back out West towards the open Pacific ocean. We had an amazing view of the J11 matriline, which includes J11 with her 16 year old son J27 and his siblings J31 (12 year old female) and J39 (4 year old male). The trip then ventured into Oak Bay's chain islets where we viewed harbour seals hauled out. What an amazing way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Note: photo zoomed in and photo is of J17
