Orca Whales playing in Rosario Straight

Orca Whales playing in Rosario Straight

While heading North up Rosario Strait en-route to the San Juan Islands, we spotted a large pod of Orcas (Killer Whales) near Decatur Island. We slowed to a crawl and drifted along with the strong currents admiring the Large Male whales, the matriarch and the baby whales which seemed to be enjoying life immensely.

For the crew, it was their first visit to the San Juan Islands and the very first time they had seen Orcas. What a great welcome to the jewels of the Pacific Northwest!
