Sunday, June 24th
The morning we travelled to San Juan Island, where we found the whales just south of Andrew's Bay. We heard rumours that L-pod had headed back out west overnight, but were pleasantly surprised to find Faith and several other L-pod whales reunited with J-pod. It was an astounding trip. The whales were incredibly active - breaches were the theme of the morning trip, as several whales breached while they travelled along the shoreline of San Juan Island and then Henry Island. We watched some great foraging behaviour as several killer whales were undoubtedly in pursuit of their favourite prey, the chinook salmon. This trip was definitely a highlight of the season, and we look forward to more spectacular trips with the expected arrival of K-pod.
