8-30-14 A Day of Meandering About

Saturday, August 30th
...after an 'out of reach' - just couldn't quite make it to the lighthouse day yesterday...today gave the answer as to who was here...
...Lobo K-26 and members of the K14s came up island...it was mid morning...

...this time I didn't race to the lighthouse, I stayed put at one of the pull outs south of there...as I thought, they turned and went back down island...
...out on Maya's Westside Charters later on to see what the whales were up to...meandering...

...down island for a while, then up island for a while...

...to answer that, they're probably looking for fish!
...look at how Tika K-33 has grown...his dorsal fin is almost in the 'tall fin' category!

...Cali K-34 seemed to have a time when he just didn't know where he fit...ever feel that way?...it's been great to see him mixing back in with his family members...

...another group going up island - at one point anyway - Samish and her offspring...here she is with J-45...

...and here's Granny J-2 - you know - the matriarch of the Community - she's going up island...right?

...now she's going down island...

...and so is everyone else, except for this harbor seal...

...and now they're going out...

...will they be here tomorrow???...only if there is salmon for them...
...since no others came in and these didn't go out, I didn't expect who was present to change...so today Group A was minus 5 members: Onyx L-87 and the J16s were still out with others...somewhere...
...but the K12s were still here today...
