This afternoons trip, we traveled east to San Juan Island USA - the home of the southern residents. K and L pods were traveling very quickly northbound individualy and in small groups. We then traveled south to the bottom of Lopez Island where Jpod was also traveling perhaps to meet up with the others. Granny J1 and Ruffles J2 passed and gave our guests an impressive memory.
This evenings trip we arrived just north of Lime Kiln Park USA (San Juan Island) where we found a large mixture of animals both traveling and hunting. A group of whales were feeding in a rip tide, criss crossing their directions, spyhopping, and some in high speed persuit hunting.
Here is where it gets interesting. A group of lpod passed us however honestly I have to say that I do not recognize one of the males at all. He is really big! On what appeared to be a deep dive, we waited in anticipation of where they would show up. I had the video rolling however I thought they may appear in a different spot so I moved. All of a sudden I heard sounds spun around and there in clear view was one of the large lpod males, completely exposed out of the water in amazing view of all our passengers!. I am terribly sorry but I didn't capture that however it was more then what we all expected to see! 0_0
A special guest with us today was Suzanne Chisholm of Mountain Side Films who with her husband Mike Parfit are making a feature length documentary about Luna (produced with CBC). Today Suzanne joined us as she documented for the upcoming film. The link to that is Saving Luna
