Are those the Olympics in the background??
When was that taken?
Hurricane ridge of the Olympics in the background, day before yesterday, Sunday. They nosed into the harbor with a lot of surface time, dived as the ferry pulled out to surface close to Browns island and travelled close to the west side of Bronwn island and then entered the south side of Browns and disappeared, reappearing right in the corner of shipyard cove. T47A and T77C passed under Tacoma Narrows bridge today heading south towards Olympia.
Correction, they travelled the East side of Brown island, other side to town
Ah, and it was the 19 whales from K pod, who were at cattle point yesterday, who went under Tacoma narrows bridge. The two male transient orcas are headed that way but last sighting still at south end of Vashon Island
To be accurate, it seems k pod may have split up, with only some families headed to Olympia. – reports are hazy.
