A visit with Biggs/Transient killer whales – T123’s

October 1, 2017 – Good winds for sailing around the San Juan Islands. Up Presidents Channel with the harbor porpoise checking out the Orcas Island coast before crossing over to Waldron Island to sail under gorgeous Pt Disney. Many cormorants and harbor seals on White Rock. New Channel never disappoints – especially since we watched a bald eagle steal a huge fish from a harbor seal! Our timing was perfect to see this event play out. We were excited to hear news of transient orcas around the corner headed our way. It was the T123’s who entered Spieden Channel and traveled over to Flattop Island and onto Pt Disney. A sunset and several smiles warmed the boat on our way back to the harbor.
