...no morning-warning sky this morning...too much fog to even see it...
...but by the time we left the dock on Maya's Westside Charters the fog had receded...one of the young passengers was keeping out a 'fog watch'...and luckily she was able to 'report' that it had gone away!
...in its place were whales, orcas, killer whales...and what a surprise it was...
...they came over to the west side, up island...then down...and now up again...
...the whales continued up island slowly...a large group in shore...
...Fluke L-105 and Sonata K-35 were playing around a lot...look at Fluke's scratches..
...Sonata K-35...his mom was present and Cappuccino - so the K Klik is here!
...just out of the harbor we can see the whales coming up...now wait...
...it was getting late...the clouds were heavy, but "look there's a rainbow!" someone said...
...and the whales were approaching...would the rainbow last when the whales got there???...you could have felt the suspense on the boat!
Thank you Moonlight L-83 and Midnight L-110 (how appropriate) for being right where you were!
...one last one...
...later I looked back to see if this was normal for just these L pod whales (a group of four families) to be here...from what I can tell it's not an 'ah-ha' moment!...that is unless you want to count the K Klik as one!
...in the October months in the last several years, this group of Ls has been around the San Juan Islands a time or two each October...that is not counting when they have gone into Puget Sound or when Js and Ks have been present with them...
...and K Klik?...well, they are an independent group and have been seen in here in October as well...I remember in 2008 all of K pod was here, but Cappuccino K-21 was not with them...he was off with Ls!
...sorry this post is so long...
...it was such a fun day...
...hope you feel like you were
out there with the whales today...
