May 3, 2024 – With news of orcas coming down Upright Channel we called yesterday’s passengers who were skunked for whales on a full day sail. They were excited to join us again for another adventure. We met up with Biggs/Transient orcas known as the T90’s as they turned north up San Juan Channel and passed right by Friday Harbor. Stunning views as they hugged the forested San Juan Island coastline up to Pt Caution where they stopped to hunt for a bite to eat. As they continued north we flipped back south and returned to the harbor.
