Orca Whales in Sight!
The Island Explorer 3 is on-scene with the Orca Whales! We headed well to the north today to show our guests Whales! Stay tuned to the Whale Report for updates from Naturalist Jami Nagel and click on this link to see the position of the Island Explorer 3 from space! "Coming out of the marina on our 9:30am trip we had our first wildlife encounter, a California Sealion, not as frequently seen in the Island in the summer!! We headed north and found 4 bald eagles on the eastside of Guemes Island. The whales took us almost to Point Roberts today. We were just south of Point Roberts watching members of K-pod as they slowly moved south in the Strait of Georgia. We had some great looks at the new K-pod baby, mom Lea, big brother Lobo and Yoda! We were treated to an amazing breach by mom Leah.
Off the dock for our 3:30 trip we headed north again the whales still coming south toward us! We ended up just north of Lummi Island. When we got on seen the whale went crazy! Their were atleast 20 breaches in the first 30 mins we were on seen! We had members of K and J pod. They were very active with not just breaches but spyhops and taillobs too! Our evening guests also got to see the new K-pod calf as she swam along side mom Lea. We also had a look at Cappuccino K21 who has really grown, his dorsal fin is atleast 6 ft tall! We also saw several harbor seals checking us out as we watched the whales and harbor porpoise! Bald eagles, rhinocerus auklets and pigeon guillemots were present on both our trips as well." -Naturalist Jami Nagel
