June 28, 2025 – After leaving Friday Harbor we had two orca reports. The T65B’s were with T49A1 milling south of Stuart Island at the west end of Spieden Channel and the T123’s were milling near White Rock. We decided to go for the T123’s who were now southbound in our direction. The others eventually continued northbound towards Turn Pt. We met the orcas at the top of Spring Pass and joined them southbound in San Juan Channel. After some gorgeous views we split off to sail around some other areas before rejoining again for another look as they were outside Friday Harbor.
