Monday, July 9
In the morning our group of passengers went to San Juan Island where we saw a number of whales near the shoreline by Lime Kilne Lighthouse. The orcas were initially heading north but began to turn around halfway through our trip and started heading back south along San Juan Island. In the afternoon we were fortunate enough to see two pods in one trip. We started off south of San Juan where we saw some members of L-pod traveling along the shoreline. We then went further north along San Juan and met up with what we believed was K-pod. Our beliefs were confirmed when Cappuccino, of the adult males from K-pod made a fantastic pass by our boat. On our trip back we stopped by the Chain Islands and observed the Cormorants fly off their nests in a hurry as two Bald Eagles flew in and landed in their spot.
After a beautiful day on the water, we headed out for one more tour. We met up with K-pod as they were moving off shore of San Juan Island. All on board were pleased to get a good look at K21 (Cappuccino) and an even better look at his younger sister k40 (Raggedy). Another successful day whale watching in Victoria.
