Today we got geared up and headed out on a 5 hour kayaking trip out of Roche Harbor. We started out by seeing lot's of harbor seals once we paddled to the Haro Strait. Continuing south we had the opportunity to see a juvenile bald eagle as well as an adult hanging out in a 5 foot wide nest. Not long after we were surprised by orcas appearing off our right hand side. We got to spend about 15 minutes with the whales before they swam off and got looks as close as 50 yards despite having our kayaks right along the shoreline! After we had lunch on a beach with panoramic views of Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula we finished our paddle on some glassy water home.
