We headed out this evening with our two vessels, Supercat & Fastcat, full of excited passengers eager to see Orcas and we did not disappoint! A few miles off-shore of San Juan Island we encountered K & L-pod. When we first arrived on scene many of the Orcas could be seen in resting formation, whilst others were actively hunting.
There was one youngster being very boisterous and even made several vocalizations on the surface. As we continued to watch this youngster spyhop and pectoral slap, we suddenly noticed he came to the surface with a fish in his mouth:)
We also had a nice encounter with K21 "Cappuccino" and K40 "Raggedy". K21 is the oldest male in K-pod but was only born in 1996. K40 is a female born in 1963 and gets her name from the unique markings on her dorsal fin.
On our way home we stopped off at the Chain Islets to show our passengers the many Harbor Seals and Pups.
