Today was beautiful, sunny, flat and calm on the pacific ocean. We didn't travel far to find a variety of cetacean wild life. We had many kinds of animals present in our waters but were unable to see them all. The southern resident killer whales (fish eating) were foraging spread out near San Juan Island so we viewed the T30 transient killer whales (meat eating) who were traveling in the Juan de Fuca Strait. Afterwards we went on a humpback search and found the humpback mother and calf pair were fairly close to where the transients were.
We stopped off at Race Rocks to see the many pinnipeds collecting on the rocks. On our way home we watched the mother and calf humpback lazily traveling, while barely lifting a head, a pec and part of a tail out of the water. Always such a reminder of the gifts we have residing in our waters and that we are fortunate to be able to see them in their habitat.
