Today mom and I went on a whale watching trip! The tour was about 5 hours long and wandered through the San Juan Islands. We were really impressed with the tour, and saw several orcas, dozens of porpoises and harbor seals, a minke whale, salmon (I saw them in the water near the boat), and birds.
The boat crew was able to identify the whales as part of the 'resident' L pod. There are also resident J and K pods that live in the area. We saw a mother and calf (the calf is in the photo above) several times, often pretty close to the boat. The other orca we saw a lot was a big male - his dorsal fin was almost 6 feet high (below)!
Some seals were basking in the sun (the one on the far right makes me laugh):
Lastly, is this seagull lazy or genius?
