Friday, May 30th The weather warriors were rooting on our side today, with picture perfect conditions all day long! Approximately 1 mile south of Partridge Bank we got a phenomenal Minke Whale show with at least half a dozen whales circling our boat amongst at least 1,000 seagulls gathering in bait balls to feed. Onward, we were greeted at Shark Reef with two Bald Eagles and at least 100 Harbor Seals lounging in the sunshine!! Finally, we caught word of our Orcas, YIPPIE!! We immediately headed straight towards them, cutting into Mud Bay, there we took a short cut through Lopez Pass and headed straight across Rosario Strait to Bize Point on Fidalgo Island just north of Deception Pass. Arriving on scene, the Orcas had just gone in for a kill, oh my! From there on out, it was all ooohs and ahhhs aboard the Mystic Sea at the first sighting of these beautiful animals. We were amongst the pod T65a consisting of 3 female, 2 male and 1 calf. They spent the better part of 30 minutes rolling through the glistening water along side the boat. We had whales and smiles in every direction, spectacular way to end our day!
