As we departed the Victoria inner harbour today, noticed a harbour seal chomping away on something that looked a bit like an octopus. Also saw an amazing sun halo above. Important not to look directly at the sun.
Today on our noon trip we found Jpod south Lopez Island traveling westbound to their usual feeding grounds of San Juan Island. Along the way we caught J1 traveling on his own, sprouter male Mike / J26 and saw J14 with calf Suttles / J40 (f). The animals past Colville Island as our trip came to an end. Along the way we saw some high speed feeding behavior near the shoreline including lunges and tail and cartwheeling. Some breaches occured as well.

On our evening trip, Jpod was spread very wide apart hunting. Got a beautiful pass of Ruffles / J1 in warm sun and flat blue waters. Keet / J33 was fishing near Blackberry / J27 and J16 was fishing nearby as well. Caught Mako / J39 speed porpoising alone (calf 2003). Slick / J16 gave us a stunning look at her and her new calf J42. The animals remained in very spread out fashion when we left them with some of the group northbound speed porpoising and breaching along the way.
