It's been pouring rain and fog today but that doesn't stop the whales from living or the people from wanting to see them! We departed for Stewart Island / Turn Point as Jpod were traveling northbound. Most of the animals were traveling close to the shoreline in small groups. Didn't see Ruffles / J1 or his mom, I assume they were ahead of the others. Blackberry / J27 was visible amongst the layers of mist and fog and was seen in some hunting predation behavior. Samish / J14 was traveling with calf Suttles / J40 (born 2004). Was a bit tough with the fog so was unable to get a photo of the pair but we watched as they traveled northbound. Someone breached multiple times (times) near the shore, I have a series of them however they are grainy due to the fog and low light. Near the end of our trip, Blackberry / J27 (teenage male born 91) spyhopped several times and not too far from us either. It was a sweet moment for passengers onboard today. Today was one of those days where the scenery was out of a painting and you recognize the stereotype of the wet and wild west coast...
