Another beautiful sunny day here in the San Juan Islands. We spent both of our trips on the west side and south side of San Juan Island with a mixture of J and K pod. It was nice to have the resident whales back in the area after they not being around this weekend. We spent most of the time watching the whales spread out foraging. We even got a close look at the K14s and were able to identify K14, Lea and her 3 offspring Lobo, Yoda, and Kelp.
On our way home we saw over 15 Stellar Sea Lions! These animals are huge!! The males can be over 2000 lbs. We saw many on the rocks, and in the water. This is the most we have seen all season because they are just returning to this area from their Alaskan breeding ground.
Great day on the water, can't wait for tomorrow.
