June 12, 2022 – We saw lots of wildlife including osprey, bald eagles, harbor seals, a Steller sea lion, and the highlights were a pod of orcas known as the T123’s in San Juan Channel as well as a pair of humpback whales traveling up Haro Strait. One of the humpback whales was BCZ0414 “Zephyr” and the other ID was never confirmed.
