Today was jam packed with non stop whale action! On this flat, sunny calm and warm day we headed to San Juan Island where apparently ALL the killer whales had returned and were in very social activity. There were animals EVERYWHERE! We saw pretty much all behaviors; breaching, spyhops, tail slaps, group socialization, kelping, and also indication of frisky behavior. On our way home we stopped by the Great Chain Islands in Oak Bay to observe the harbour seals. You can see in the image there is a large seal, indicating she is probably pregnant.
