May 25, 2018 – Wow, what a day to be on the water. Steller sea lions swimming near Green Pt, the colors of Flattop Island popping out at us, Pt Disney looking better than ever, and the T65A’s to the east of Sucia Island. As we arrived they just happened to be hunting. Some high lunges and excitement and then they grouped up and moved on. Everyone was happy to see the tiny baby orca. Several small sea lion pups walking on all fours all mixed up with enormous adults on Clements Reef. Simply adorable. Treated to stunning reflections in Presidents Channel as we set a course for home under a nearly full moon rising and a sun set.
