With the longer days , more sunshine and warmth and plenty of marine mammals around, one is sure to have a good time out on the water with 'Prince of Whales'. Our Tuesday noon trip took us out past the Cruise ship moored at the breakwater, east past Trail and Discovery Islands and across Haro Strait to the west side of San Juan Island. We observed a number of Harbour Porpoise foraging in Haro Strait and took time to view these shy creatures. Our wonderful crew shared their knowledge with the guests on board. A few members of L Pod, the L 12 family group of the Southern Resident Orca clan were foraging off False Bay San Juan Island. It was L 41, 'Mega ', born in 1977, a mature male, and his two sisters, L 77 'Matia ' and L 94 'Calypso' with her calf, that gave us great looks at these incredible marine mammals. Mt. Baker looked impressive today. Even the 'Clipper' vessel jetted past on its way to view the Orca.It was another fabulous encounter with west coast wildlife.Marie Orca-Magic.
