Incredible morning trip with the L12's & L22's and then Jpod! June 21, 2009.












We headed over to the west side of San Juan Island in Supercat this morning, after Ron Bates, MMRG, received reports that members of Lpod had been sighted near False Bay. Meanwhile Ron and our vessel Fastcat headed further south towards Iceberg and made contact with Jpod.

Whilst watching the L12's we observed some signs of fishing. The Orcas were spread out and obviously aware that Jpod was further to the south.

As we traveled south towards Jpod we could see more of the L's porpoising towards Jpod and as we arrived on scene we observed several syhops, tailslaps and breaches. One Orca in particular breached a half dozen times!

On our way home we stopped off at the Chain Islets to check out the Harbor Seals, who will be giving birth to pups any day now.
