Our trip today took us into Canada….eh?

We found ourselves cruising along the shore of Pender Island and J pod was hunting for fish along the rocky cliffs.  This day on the water was so different from yesterday as far as flat seas and warm light winds.  What perfect conditions for enjoying wildlife….especially our Southern Resident Orca whales!  There were a few “baby” breaches and spy hops, from one of the younger members of the J clan.  Doublestuff, one of the maturing males (now twelve years old) was doing some fancy foraging with many quick turns and dives.  After a great hour of watching the resident whales we turned and headed back for home waters.  We almost flew across Boundary Pass as the water was so flat.  We did have a few chances to see some regal Bald eages, some Harbor seals and then, a quick trip to Green Point on Spieden Island allowed us to see the Mouflon rams and ewes up on the hillside.  Another great day on the water and aboard the Western Prince II.
