Spent the morning up north with J pod! The first whale we encountered was J50 “Scarlet” trailing behind the pod, so we quickly left her in search of other whales. We then spotted J27 “Blackberry,” J31 “Tsuchi,” and J46 “Star,” together, while J38 “Cookie,” foraged on his own a few hundred metres away. We decided…

Welcome home! We encountered the Southern Residents tonight off Stuart Island, northbound toward Boundary Pass. We spent our time with J22 “Oreo” and J38 “Cookie” first, then moved on to have a look at the J16s. J42 “Echo” was on babysitting duty, so she was travelling with J50 “Scarlet” and J52 “Sonic”. They quickly picked…
