Prince of Whales blog

Thursday, May 29, 2008

We headed out across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to look for whales. Weather was pretty grey to start off but improved as the morning progressed. We found J Pod close to Lime Kiln Park in the San Juans. They were really spreadout and heading north. J 1 (Ruffles) came fairly close to investigate the boat! Meandered through Chatham and Discovery Islands and found the Harbour seals.

Important Notice about content

Most of the images on the blog are shot with a 400 mm telephoto lens. Because of our restrictions around wildlife (100+ meters), we use powerful lenses to better share orca activity that passengers see on their trips. Keep in mind this also heavily compresses space between objects. We also crop images for best blog viewing.

The videos are generally shot in wide angle and are very realistic to what the eye sees on the boat. Please enjoy the photos for the telephoto view, and the videos for a boat based, real life passenger view.
