Unlike yesterdays completely flat calm seas today was adventurous and dramatic on the water! We caught up with members of various pods making their way southbound along the San Juan Island shoreline spread far out into Haro Strait. Various breaches were observed as well as foraging behavior (see video). Also out was the NOAA research pooper snooper dog team (see image above).
Today's highlight came on our way back to Victoria when L12's arrived in the most energetic way, porpoising out of the water, breaching, hydroplaning under the wave crests and right next to the boat which was an incredible view for all the passengers. The animals clearly knew of our presence and yet was just feet from us, I was not prepared with a camera at this point we were in 6 foot seas, and somethings after all are for "your eyes only"... That will be in my memory for sometime to come.... What trip! On a side note, friend Maureen Gordon of Maple Leaf Adventures was on board today, having a blast as we rode home in the huge gale force swells... Thanks to Captain Kirt for such amazing navigation of those seas today, Makes you feel ALIVE!!!!!
