Here are a few images from our incredible encounter with a very active J & K-pod off San Juan Island in the afternoon!
We had received reports earlier in the day that the Orcas had been sighted moving towards East Point and by the time we headed out in the afternoon they had already past Turn Point and were still movin...g south!
Amazingly we encountered members of J & K-pod just north of Lime Kiln and it showed once again how fast Orcas can move when they need to. As we arrived on scene we could see the Orcas Porpoising (high speed swimming) towards Lime Kiln. We witnessed some amazing breaches as well!
I manged to identify a number of Orcas including J1 "Ruffles", J2 "Granny", J8 "Spieden, J16 "Slick, J42 "Echo", J26 "Mike", J33 "Keet" and J36 "Alki" along with several K-pod Orcas including K40 "Raggedy" and K21 "Cappuccino".
Earlier on our way to the Orcas we stopped at Oak Bay and encountered the Gray Whale once again!
