July 25, 2017 – Cut the lines and sailed via Upright Channel to Upright Head to see the falcons and eagles. Radio reports coming in with news of J pod southbound in Rosario Channel. After exploring Peapod Rocks, we met the J16’s at Lawrence Point foraging. Other J pod members were spread out across the straight.
