July 13, 2017 – Cut the lines to sail through the islands and out through Obstruction Pass to meet transient orcas, T51, T34’s, T37, and T37B’s traveling in a tight group in windy seas. Orca chins exploding through the waves. Beautiful backlit blows. Our first sighting of not just 1, but 2 raccoons on two separate islands on the same day walking along the rocky beaches. Every trip is different.
