Zodiac Adventure Oct 25

Our 11am Zodiac Adventure was set against sunny skies and calm seas. Skipper Mark "Mallard" took us east to San Juan Island, to a small island called Whale Rock. Here we observed Stellar Sea Lions and abundance of Cormorants an Gulls. We scouted the west side of San Juan Island up to Lime Kiln Lighthouse were we caught up with some very energetic Dall's Porpoise. These spirited Porpoise put on a great show tearing through the sea and riding beside the boat. The 2pm Adventure took us to Hein Bank where we caught up with a pair of Humpback Whales. These two majestic whales were slowly traveling along, fluking each time they took a deep dive. Such gentle giants of the sea. We then took a quick trip to San Juan Island and caught up with Orca. The Killer Whales of K Pod. They were spotted off Eagle Point and were headed north along the coastline. We watched them working their way along feeding as they went. Such a great time was spent with them in the sparkling waters of the pacific northwest.
