November Sailing – Transient Orcas and Humpback whale drift passed the Port of Friday Harbor

Drifting South in San Juan Channel with silence broken only by massive breaths of a Humpback whales exhalation. Magical light as we passed the Port of Friday Harbor. Drifting towards Lopez Island we met Transient Orcas, the T2C’s, and slowly caught the ebb tide out passed Cattle Point Light on San Juan Island to Whale Rocks.
