L12's were sleeping near the San Juan Island shoreline when we arrived on scene. Soon after the group awoken and moved south. The animals moved in hunting patterns and then eventually into speed porpoising. The group split apart while traveling, several of the animals became quite active breaching, cartwheeling, tail lobbing and so on. Mega L41 singled off by himself as we departed. Saw Ken Balcomb for the Center for Whale Research as they were out documenting. On our way across the quite adventurous Victoria waterfront, we were pleasently surprized by 3 transient killer whales (1 large male and 2 smaller females) speed porpoising across the large 5 foot waves working against them. Guests onboard got action packed views of the oceans top predator as they sped into the sunlight towards the west. What a great adventure!
