J and L-Pod Sightings

August 18, 2010

Wow, now we are talking about a lot of whales. Both the morning and afternoon tours looked on as members from J-Pod (28 orcas) and L-Pod (39 orcas) foraged for fish from San Juan Islands north tip, down it's west side, then to the center of Haro Strait. We were able to get good looks of such individuals as J-Pods Granny (J2) Ruffles (J1) and Mike (J26) and L-Pods Mega (L41), Matia (L77) and Calypso (L94).
On the morning tour we were also fortunate enough to watch a single Gray whale as it fed near Discovery Island.
