Residents are back!

We had a wonderful trip yesterday afternoon.  We got very exciting news in the morning that our resident orca whales were coming back in from the Pacific.  The wind was blowing a bit but we were dry and comfortable on the “Odyssey”  while viewing J-pod in Haro Strait.  It sure was nice to have our residents back in the area after being gone for such a long time. We also spotted a few  bald eagles and a couple of harbor porpoise.  There were reports that the whales split into two groups, with one headed south.  That group may include members of K and L pods.  We should know more today.  Welcome back residents.
