Cruising South!

speedyA true “fogust” day today. We had an incredible encounter with L pod in the morning. There’s something about watching whales in the fog that just invokes a feeling of mystery. Most of L pod was together. Imagine 40 whales packed into a tight group taking a nap and then emerging from the fog like ghosts. WOW! On our second trip, the fog had lifted, but we had all lost track of L pod. Thankfully J and K pods were flying down south at incredible speed. It was amazing to watch such a large group of orcas stay at top speed for such a long period of time. I suppose someone rang the dinner bell off the south end of the island…
