April 26, 2017 – No whale reports, off we go. Blue skies and great wind, loons, rhinoceros auklets, harbor seals snoozing. But nothing stays the same on the water – The T123 family of Transient Orcas appeared out of the blue and they were active. And were they active; feasting all the way down San Juan Channel. Very cute little 4 year old rolling a harbor seal onto her mothers back. Amazing sailing days with transient Orcas.
