vdhamer 0 Posted October 23, 2005 According to my GPS, these "J- and K-Pod" orcas were on the Canadian side of the Washington State border by over 5 km. Not that the orcas cared - they cross the border almost daily. Link to comment
vdhamer 0 Posted October 23, 2005 August 7th PM Tour: The 3 pods headed north, J & K up Swanson Channel and L's up Boundary Pass. Since L's were closer we went for them - however they seemed to pick up speed and we didn't catch them until Pt Roberts! Had an okay look but Captain Matt wasn't satisfied. He heard that J & K's were coming out of Active Pass just to the south of us so went the extra 9 miles and cruised over that direction. Many times when you see whales emerge from Active Pass they get very excited and super active! And this time didn't dissappoint! Had a great show watching them breach, cartwheel, spyhop, etc. One of them breached 7 times in a row - a great photo-op because you can predict where he'll come up - and get that breach shot! Got home a little late tonight but it was well worth it. Bart Rulon, naturalist and photographer Link to comment
