Chose to sail North in San Juan Channel after hearing of the T36’s and T46’s heading down President’s Channel. However out of the blue we bumped into the T99’s north of Yellow Island. The 3 Transient Orca families met for lunch and cruised south along the San Juan shoreline passing Friday Harbor. Social, playful, energetic. A lovely day out on the water.
