Today passengers on Five Star Whale Watching's afternoon trip were treated to a classic example of how quickly our wildlife viewing can change.

The morning trip was able to see Transient(Marine-Mammal-Eating)Killer Whales T20 & T21 out to the West near William Head and across to Constance Bank: En route they also saw First Nations' canoes paddling across Juan de Fuca Strait from Victoria, B.C. to Port Angeles, Washington. This was part of 2009 Tribal Journey, where First Nations reenact the traditional-style intertribal canoe journeys as part of the annual "Paddle to Seattle" that began 20 years ago.

In the afternoon, "Fast Cat" and "Five Star Supercat" took passengers on the afternoon trip 20nm North to Turn Point where L-pod of Resident (Fish-Eating) Killer Whales were heading towards the West side of San Juan Island.
