(Cappuccino / K21)



(Solstice / L89)

(Lpod female tail slamming Salmon)




We departed at 5pm tonight east to San Juan Island. K and L pods were both present spread very far, north and south, inshore and offshore. We first sighted Cappuccino / K21, a sprouted male traveling southbound alone. He was 2 miles off of Lime Liln lighthouse not far from other K's traveling closer to shore (mother can calf). We repositioned and found Lpod traveling southbound towards Salmon Bank. Fairly large groups, and got my first peek at Solstice / L89 in a long time. The animals were hunting Salmon, speed finning (fast fin slicing the water surface) and tail slapping, more like hard slamming and head shaking which means food! A mother and calf combination both breached one after the other. Sorry guys my calf breach was blurry so you'll have to settle with a mom breach instead :) We said farewell after seeing our friends Cappuccino / K21 & Solstice / L89 both traveling solo but close by. A lovely evening it was !
