Today was a great day for wildlife viewing. We headed south out of Friday Harbor and then just southeast of Lopez we spotted Southern Resident Killer Whales, the J-pod and they put on a great show. Captain Nancy identified Ruffles! They were breaching and tail slapping- some great pictures were taken. On the way back we spotted some bald eagles on Long Island and Stellar Sea Lions on Whale Rocks. I am always impressed with the size of the Stellar Sea Lions. The waters did get a little rough but whats a little rough water when you get to see such amazing animals in their natural habitat.
