September 6, 2022 – We found some cool wildlife including harbor seals, Steller sea lions, a great blue heron, lots and lots of diving birds, a minke whale on Salmon Bank (unfortunately no photos) and orca!  We haven’t been able to ID the pod that swam by us based on our photos. Unless someone else can chime in it’ll remain a mystery!
