Here’s Captain Hobbes with this week’s report…

Well it had to happen, this is the first week since summer when I started writing these articles, that I haven’t had any nearby whale sightings of any kind! The resident orcas have been hanging around out by Neah Bay, way too far for us to go. But we are still seeing tons of other wonderful wildlife including large groups of Stellar sea lions, seals, harbor porpoise, very playful Dall’s porpoise, Elephant seals, eagles, seabirds, and exotic wildlife on Spieden Island.
Check out the San Juan Island Visitors Bureau www.visitsanjuan.com and the Pacific Whale Watch Association www.pacificwhalewatchassociation.org websites to see who’s still running trips.
