Yesterday we sailed to Bainbridge for lunch and, after running aground
in Eagle Harbor (our depth sounder is on the fritz & I got careless),
and dinner at the Harbor Island Pub we headed back into Puget Sound
and were treated to this pod of Orca Whales. They came and checked us
out and we sailed with them off our port beam for about 40 minutes. A
number of times they swam directly under the boat, sometimes in pairs,
on their backs. We saw at least one baby orca, and one patriarch with
a dorsal fin at least 4ft tall. It was amazing. I’m still high from
it. I’d never seen Orcas before in all my sailing on the Sound, and
now we were face to face with them. Thought you guys might like to see!

My friend’s wife Jamie shot the video (I was to agog to do anything
but squeal). After this we proceeded to sail on a broad reach in light
airs and perfectly flat sea on our way past West Point towards the
locks. Also, a little bonus - effectively zero wait time in the locks
or at the bridges on our way to and from Lake Union!
Hope you’re all having amazing springs (or falls for those of us in
the southern hemisphere)!
