Pacific Whale Watch Association

7/29/2010: We took a route through the inner islands to begin today's trip again today. Our widlife viewing started at Blakely Island where we spotted two bald eagles and a turkey vulture on the shoreline. The way they were gathered made it look like they were feeding on something but we couldn't see what it was. Not far away we spotted several harbor seals hauled out along the rocks. There were a few seal pups in this group. We found the orcas today just as we crossed the Canadian border near South Pender Island. The first three orcas we watched were K13, Skagit, K25, Scoter, and K34, Cali.

Yesterday, May 13th, Captain Nancy and Kevin headed out of Friday Harbor today with a full boat of local middle schoolers. They headed down to Alden Bank, while braving strong winds from the southwest. When they arrived they saw a lot of activity from the whales, including multiple breaches! It was a long trip but the 23 young kids enjoyed the effort.
