July 11, 2017 – Right outside the harbor we met up with many transient orcas, T36, T36Bs, and T99’s who ventured north up Presidents Channel along the Orcas Island shoreline. We crossed over to view the beauty of Sucia Island while enjoying supper. Onwards to visit more of our favorite islands, Skipjack and Flattop Island while drinking hot chocolate watching the sun set.
