We lucked out with the weather today with calm seas and blue sky. Traveling North passing by Yellow island we enjoyed watching Harbor Seals hauled out on the rocks. This was a common theme throughout our trip as we saw many seals hauled out near Spieden Island on Sentinel Rock as well as near the Cactus Islands.
Lots of Bald Eagles too. We stopped at O'neil island, next to San Juan Island, to look at a Bald Eagle's nest which happen to have one of the adults in the nest. The eaglets have hatched by now with an ongoing appetite which keeps the adults very busy. By August these small eaglets will be the same size as their mom and dad and ready to take their first flight.
We'll be sure to keep checking back!
