We departed the Victoria Harbour at 1400 this overcast and drizzly afternoon on Five Star Charters Supercat and headed to Haro Strait to look at J and the K13 matriline of K pod whales.
The whales were spread out non-directional and foraging when we arrived offshore of Bellevue Point, San Juan Island around 1500. I was able to get IDs on K25, Scoter, with J27, Blackberry and K27, Deadhead and also saw J1, Ruffles' tall wavey dorsal fin and a female, likely J2, Granny, travelling further in the strait offshore of us. As well, J32, Rhapsody also came close enough for a good ID look and photo. Despite the pouring rain it was a great sighting of these members of J and K pods foraging together!
