A picture perfect day on the Sound, no wind and a pod of Orcas. Will post some still pics later, here's a video.BTW to the internet police, we had stopped off the side of their projected path and they turned and came to us.http://youtu.be/HirOAFB33FwI guess you live on the islands. Did you know a Rick King that worked at one of the dock/stores over there ? He got killed a few years ago in Idaho ? He was a pretty good friend of mine.

What else is amazing is that there weren't 15 other boats around them and sound watch handing out brochures.
couple years ago I found myself on one of those puget sound tour boats that feed you a dinner and you ride around the sound with 50 or so other people...anyways I was amazed how much those boats chased the orca's and how close they got. They'd really race and jog around trying to get in position for the tourists. I could see half a dozen boats all doing the same thing.Kind of cool I guess, but I prefer them a good ways from me while I'm fishing salmon and not swimming all around my boat all day long Orca's can sure mess up a good troll

We grabbed a few other folks from the island and circled up to the north where we found them again. As we sat there, the Victoria Clipper III came by and stopped as well as a few other boats. When we had them to ourselves, we could hear them gurgling and clicking at each other, it was pretty darn cool. I swear they swam over just to check us out.
Fished San Juan this afternoon and had Orcas swimming by almost the entire time. Too bad the fish weren't as cooperative.
