They were heading west with the out going tide! We spent our time with 2 subpod. Speiden with her niece Shachi and Shachi 3 year old calf Eclipse. Also Princess Angeline with her two daughters Polaris and TahlequahdThey gave us some amazing looks at them as they all traveled tightly together! On our way back after leaving J-pod we came across our second species of whale for the day! A Minke whale just north of Smith Island!! We watched the minke surface several times before we had to head back to Anacortes! Some of the other wildlife we encountered were harbor seals sunning themselves on the rocks near the southend of Lopez Island, bald eagles, pigeon guillemots, rhinocerus auklets, common murres and many harbor porpoise!"
