I know I have said this a million times, but it was a whale of a day! First, we saw members of the J pod on the south end of San Juan near Salmon Bank. Once again we identified J26 "Mike". Then, we saw more whales, possibly members of the L pod, along the west side of San Juan around Eagle Point. The whales were widely spread out in all directions, traveling in groups of about 5-10. Every day is different and today we got a little taste of everything. We saw spyhopping, porpoising, breaching, and tail lobbing. The best part is that they are in their wild habitat. There is no comparison for viewing orcas in the wild. It is simply spectacular. The warm sun and calm seas made it all the more enjoyable.
