J pod AND K pod!

What an outstanding day on the water! We headed down south through Cattle Pass and on to Eagle Point once again. On the way, we had an awesome view of some Steller Sea Lions on Whale Rock, as well as many harbor porpoise and seals.

About an hour into our tour we had our first orca sighting! Amazing photos, and a true highlight in watching J32 (Rhapsody) show off with some impressive tail slaps.

August, you’ve been outstanding. 🙂 Happy Labor Day!

This season has been one for the books. Every day is a new adventure, and with our amazing naturalists always giving their all, the memories and photos of 2014 Aboard the Odyssey is truly a blessing to be a part of.

Today was no different. We headed south through San Juan Channel to Cattle Pass and on to False Bay. It wasn’t long after that we encountered L pod and were greeted with some amazing activity. L84 (Nyssa), L72 (Racer) and L105 (Fluke) made the day particularly special, porpoising and providing great visibility. A couple hundred photos later, we cruised back into the harbor, blue skies all the way.

Tough job, right? 🙂
