A day of boating on crystal calm, sun-sparkled waters with the very slightest breeze caressing our smiling faces as we stared out at the beautiful San Juan archipelago. What more could a boatload of people ask for? How about every member of the Southern Resident community gracing this scenery? Well, ask or not, that's what we got!
The flat waters allowed guests to watch as large clusters of orcas crossed Boundary Pass, heading towards Turn Point. The whales traveled in tight groups towards Turn Point lighthouse. As we paralleled a large group of slowly moving whales, surfacing in what appeared to be a synchronized pattern. We looked out in the distance and as far as the eye could see behind they whales we were closest to, others large groups of whales surfaced in the same synchronized fashion. More than one guest remarked about how incredible the day was, and I couldn't agree more! Beautiful weather, amazing orcas, and majestic islands ... a person couldn't ask for more.
