Whales here, whales there, whales, whales, everywhere!
We've certainly had our share of whales in the area lately. Yesterday a big Gray whale was sighted down in Deception Pass near our kayaking route in Bowman Bay. The big fella was probably foraging in the shallow water just outside the Deception Pass Narrows.
Lately our Southern Resident Killer Whales have been doing their usual loops around the San Juan Islands too. We've had them swimming by Anacortes several times recently. It may be another season like last year when the Orca whales seemed to prefer our side of the San Juans. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed! I just received a report from our Pacific Whale Watch Association's whale-spotting network and it looks like the whales were up north by Vancouver B.C. and are presently headed south towards the San Juan Islands. Hopefully they will be over near Anacortes tomorrow so that our multi-day kayak trips and Burrows Island trips can see them! Stay tuned!
