Today was another score with Jpod in the area. Found them traveling near Open Bay. They traveled in small groups along the shoreline and were spread out for miles into Haro Strait. The animals were in high speed travel at times and feeding at other times. Lots of cartwheeling going on. Ruffles / J1 was traveling on his own, as we usually see him, with his mother Granny / J2 not far from him. Mothers and babies passed by in pairs, sometimes in groups of 3 or 4. Blackberry / J27 was seen cruising close to the shoreline. Earlier in the trip we spotted several Dalls porpoise including a mother and calf. Today was a lovely day on the water, we've been blessed with lovely weather, calm seas and plenty of whale sightings!
