Today we left Friday Harbor at about 1 pm and headed out south past Cattle Point in the Strait of Juan De Fuca.
We found some Transient orcas! These orca usually hang near Canada and usually in a small bunch 5 to 6 whales.
I think we counted about 12 to 16 individuals traveling all together and from what I have read and heard this is rare.
The transient orcas were amazing. I was really impressed with them. Our guests were very excited about their encounter. On the way back our Captain made a stop at Whale Rocks and we saw a bald eagle and some harbor seals. The weather was also great today and visibility was spectacular. It was another great whale watching and wildlife trip with San Juan Safaris.
