8-9-15 Connecting With The Whales

Sunday, August 9th
...they did come all the way in and they came up island in the morning...
...Granny J-2 was in the lead...

...and this time with her were the J16s...

...Onyx L-87 was far off shore...then others approached...when Crewser L-92 surfaced!...well, I knew there were likely 18 more L pod whales nearby...

...then Fluke L-105 surfaced...and Se-Yi-Chn J-45, his mom Samish J-14 and Racer L-72 fluke's mom...and for two and a half hours they slowly passed by...

...some came in close at the lighthouse, much to the delight of all those standing right there...

...Sequim K-12 and some of her family had gone up island only to turn and come back to meet up with some of her family and some of Nugget L-55's family too...this boat...well, they were fishing...maybe the whales were too since they were both moving along a tide line...like the people on the boat...but then one of them...the unfolding of a connection...

...the L12s were heading in from the west...they didn't make it up to the park and instead traveled east along the island...maybe tomorrow they will make an appearance, however, they are more interested in salmon than people sitting along the shore line!
