TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2009, NEITHER RAIN, NOR FOG NOR DARK OF NIGHT SHALL KEEP US FROM OUR APPOINTED ROUNDS









TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2009, NEITHER RAIN, NOR FOG NOR DARK OF NIGHT SHALL KEEP US FROM OUR APPOINTED ROUNDS

Near Winter-like temperatures, intermittent showers and a gloam of dark clouds could not dampen our enthusiasm and excitement. Heading out this morning, we had no reports and no real hunches as to where the 80+ Killer Whales that we saw yesterday had gone overnight. In fact, we had reports that those whales that had come in from the Pacific had not made it as far East as the West Side of San Juan Island: This was quite unusual.

And then, almost as if our patience and faith was being rewarded, we found first a few and then many whales foraging offshore. As you can see from these pictures, it turned into a wonderful, if albeit soggy, day!
