San Juan Islands Sea Kayaking from Anacortes

Wayne continues to report some unbelievable seal encounters out there at Burrows Island. There's something about him that seems to attract the interest of those fascinating marine mammals. There is one seal that frequents the marina who seems to relish the interactions with the kayaks. Rarely does a kayak tour go out that doesn't have an intimate moment with this guy. Still, it seems to be Wayne who has the magic touch with pinnipeds. Folks are starting to call him the "Seal Whisperer".
The Outer Islands kayaking trips are reporting lots of eagle sightings up at Cypress Island. The otter population seems to be growing as well. Families of these playful little buggers have been seen frolicking along the shorelines. Several trips have seen the awesome speed of the Peregrine falcons that live on Eagle Bluff. Apparently they are waging a campaign against the Kingfisher population. It's a pretty awesome sight to see a falcon diving at full speed and then the racket of breaking branches and loud chattering as the Kingfisher tears off into the forest, running for it's life.
Right now Wayne has a group up on Sucia Island. We're running another one of our special Extended Outer Islands trips today. With this gorgeous weather (rain in the morning, sunny afternoon) the excursion should be amazing. Oh yeah, the whales are coming down Rosario Strait right now. Looks like another terrfic day to be sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands!
