August 31, 2023 – Biggs/Transient orcas T18 with grandson T19C were southbound towards Friday Harbor. We popped out for a quick view to watch them pass Friday Harbor. It was cute watching them play in the bull kelp forest just south of the harbor. Spyhopping in it, draping kelp over the dorsal fin – perhaps a mini massage ?
