SUPERPOD Surprise!
Summer weather could be on its way?!?! The couds have blown over head and replaced with sunshine. Thank goodness. I was starting to feel like we were going to have to re-name June to Juneuary...ha, ha.
The sun felt great and the whales were poised for another fantastic show. Goldwing left the dock today. The weather was irregular and choppy but still no match for 35,000lbs of solid aluminum!
Our Oak Bay adventure, looking for seals, birds, and meandering through shallow water inter tidal environments was pleasantly interrupted with some very good news...K & L pod off Seabird point heading north towards J pod!
This was heart thumping information so we immediately made way to the scene which was just around the corner. We had perfect timing as our arrival was exactly at the moment of 'greeting'. The three families met with over whelming energy and engaged in social, playful & mating behaviors.
We followed the Southern resident pods from Canadian to USA waters and left them heading towards San Juan with a definate northerly direction.
Last report was 7:30pm north bound at Turn Point on Stuart Island.
Looking forward to another hot sunny, adventure filled day on the west coast.
