Aaron arranged for us to go on a late afternoon, evening whale watching tour. There are three pods of Southern Residents and we were lucky enough to see two pods meet. They were so excited to see each other. There are only about 80 of these orcas left in the wild. Please save our whales and our planet

Captain Spencer positioned the boat so we could all get some shots of the lighthouse with Mt. Baker in the background

Washington Department Fish and Wildlife keeping an eye on the whale watchers. The boats are supposed to keep 100 yards away from the orcas. It’s okay if you are stopped and the orcas come to you though

The people are on shore were lucky enough to have these orcas breech right in front of them. This is a once in a lifetime event that they will remember for years to come
Could not believe all the people on this whale watching tour – doesn’t look like there is much room to maneuver – so glad that we are on a small 30 ft boat and there are only 8 of us including the captain. We have room to move around the boat.
This boat traveled from British Columbia and since they have to travel at fast speeds to get to area where the orcas are they have to wear rain gear.
On our tour today we spotted some seals on the rocks
