Humpbacks & Sealions
(Complimentary eCard, click to download)
Today was a beautiful flat calm day, the water so lovely reflecting the blue sky. We arrived south of the Strait of Juan de Fuca to find find two humpbacks surfacing. Most likely a mother and calf, one was larger and one smaller. A few dives and tail flukes. The younger whale had bull kelp around his/her mouth while surfacing, with his or her head just peaking above the surface. Quite sweet but subtle. After we visited Race Rocks ecological reserve where two stellar sealions were hauled out and one was pretty much passed right out. Seal mothers and calfs lay upside down on the rocks as well. A warm, calm day out on the pacific ocean.
