AJ and I took our friends on a day-long boat ride to see killer whales yesterday. We left downtown Seattle at 8am, steamed up Puget Sound to the San Juan Islands, watched for whales and other marine life, walked around Friday Harbor and had lunch, then steamed home for a 7pm docking back where we started. This is the height of orca season, AND the J-Pod just had a baby last week - which other friends of ours reported seeing. We saw nary a killer whale nor baby, but did see a lollygagging Minke whale, numerous Stellar sea lions, and even more numerous harbor seals. All good stuff - especially when spending the day out of the office - but we'll have to wait to see the elusive black-and-whites some other time.
