It started out with me running out to keep track of a pod that was passing by the harbor, it was a team effort with a couple of other captains. Then I ran back to the dock to pick up my guests and we were off back to the Bigg’s pod of T10C and the T109s. They were a great bunch of whales for us. At one point they stopped off to play in some kelp.

I also shared some of the exotic animals of Spieden island, including a Mouflon Ram that was looking to mate with a ewe.

The afternoon tour we saw seals and Steller Sea Lions on the way south to meet up with the Southern Resident Killer Whales. We had K Pod here today and none of J’s or L’s that I know of.

It is always good to see these animals though those times are far and few between with not enough salmon to sustain them and NOAA Fisheries not doing their job and bringing them more to eat. They squander millions and millions on study after study keeping their careers going as scientists. If they ever did bring back the endangered salmon and restore the Southern Resident Killer Whales health status to not being endangered they would be out of a job so it only makes sense they study instead of fixing the issues.
