What a sight!  Whale fins cut through the water’s surface and blows fill the air.  Whales!  They head directly for the Lopez Island ferry landing and present quite a show for all the ferry passengers who line the decks!  Many, many L Pod whales, males, females, then some K Pod whales…breach and cartwheel their way down Upright Channel.  The small ones seem to take on the challenge of multiple breaches…could it be a contest?

Splash, smack,  tons of whale bellies hit the water!  Ohhh, Ahhhh, whale watcher voices fill the air!

Down by Whale Rocks, Steller sealions cruise out to Haro Strait.  All the way back up San Juan Channel, whale blows stand out along the shoreline.  More speed swimming, more porpoising, more and more groups of whales all pointing to the west.

What an outstanding day!
