We were caught by surprise after a mellow paddle through Mosquito pass to find a large pod of Orcas swimming North just off Henry Island. Foregoing an early lunch, and bracing ourselves for rough waters, our group pushed forward toward Kellet Bluff, keeping a generous distance between us and the whales, as well as getting the ultimate panorama view of the traveling Orcas. With our hearts racing, the screams at every whale breach, and the pace we had set for ourselves, we had definitely earned our long lunch break at Half Moon Bay. When the whales had passed, we had our share of shy harbor seals and bold eagles to follow us back to Roche. Truly a memorable and breath taking trip.
