San Juan Whale Watching

What a gorgeous day to be on the water.

This afternoon we headed north in search of Transient Orca whales, Porpoises, Eagles, Harbor Seals, and anything else that might pop up along the way.

Overall the day was beautiful and sunny, except for a few minutes of rain that left us with a wondeful rainbow over the Turn Point Lighthouse. The day was also full of wildlife, although the whales eluded us.  We did find a large group of Harbor Porpoise, which ended up swimming all around the boat, and a group of Dall’s Porpoise showing off their speed by zooming around at about 20 MPH.  We also found a mature Bald Eagle eyeing the lunch of a Harbor Seal, as well as lots of Mouflan Sheep and Fallow Deer on Spieden Island.
