Jpod and Kpod on Friday July 13, 2007.

Supercat heading for home after another successful trip.


K26 "Lobo" born in 1993.


The pictures above were taken by Marine Naturalist Kayla. This first one is of K21 "Cappuccino".












The two pictures above show K12 breaching near Kellett Bluff.





This member of Kpod lay upside down for a number of minutes waving its pectoral fins!


We saw several tail slaps.



Fluke wave.














Although Friday the 13th is considered unlucky by some people, it certainly was not the case today for those of us fortunate enough to be on the water. During the morning and early afternoon J Pod and K Pod were off the West Coast of the San Juan Islands travelling North. Later in the afternoon Kpod turned south near Kellett Bluff and continued to travel south for the rest of the afternoon and early evening.


During the afternoon and evening tours we observed a very active and playful Kpod. Our passengers were lucky to see so much action including countless breaches, tailslaps, spyhops, cartwheels, logging and pectoral slaps. It left all on board in complete awe at these incredible marine mammals.

Hi,
We were on the 7/13/07 2 p.m. trip and I think you got a good picture of the whale we saw - Cappucino?.
I hoped to see it posted but didn't. Did I miss it or if the picture isn't in the blog yet will it be added? Merina was the naturalist on our trip.
Thanks!
