Today we left Roche Harbor and headed out Mosquito Pass to Haro Strait. It was an absolutely beautiful day on the water. The lighting was perfect for spotting whales and other wildlife. Also, the water was about as calm as it can get. We headed down the West side of San Juan Island and found the whales at False Bay. There were so many whales in all different directions that all we needed to do was turn off our engines and enjoy the beautiful day. We saw breaching happened in so many different directions. When we didn't see breaching we saw tail slaps and pec slaps and a few spyhops. We got some great looks at the three siblings J27 (Blackberry), J31 (Tsuchi), and J39 (Mako). It was great to see the three siblings enjoying the social event of superpod. It was an absolutely perfect day out on the water and I don't think we could have asked for anything better!
