J Pod at Swirl Island

Another rainy day where we’re glad we went anyway. We went south on the ebb passing the harbor seals at Whale Rocks and the eagles of Long Island meeting group A of J Pod at Swirl Island. Traveling in in their family groups over Salmon Bank pausing occasionally off South Beach – did they find any fish? This is the big question. Do we have salmon? Are the whales going to stick around? Find out…come with us.
