Way cool. A friend was kayaking off Golden Gardens park and had them
surface 50 yrds out from him.

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)!
