After busting through the fog (actually it moved to the south of us) we enjoyed a flat calm and sunny cruise to the beautiful San Juan Island where Jpod was foraging. The animals were spread wide from the shoreline to the middle of Haro Strait both north and south. We ended up near Lime Kiln Park where several family members arrived to the grounds. They passed through in eager fashion. We were able to identify sprouter male Blackberry J27 in hunting behavior, some lunges and attempts at fishing for salmon. One animal breached but a distance from us. Caught a lovely family pass of Slick J16 and her children Keet J33 and newbie J42. On the way home we stopped and took a look at the harbour seals hauled out at Trial Island. Today was a pretty awesome summer like day out on the water.




Here are some captures from our guest Marie O'Shaughnessy
