From Beam Reach - 12:49 pm: J pod traveling WNW at Salmon Bank spread out. Listen on Lime Kiln and Orcasound this afternoon?
Then an update:
5 pm: Beam Reach observed J-pod foraging as they traveled south from Iceberg Pt. to Salmon Bank to Hein Bank and on south. Students saw a salmon jumping from the water in front of foraging orcas. Listen to the hydrophone network tonight. Are they going west? Pt. Townsend?

I was out on the POW, 'Ocean Magic' trip at 12.15pm today May 14th, which took us out east toward San Juan Island where we met up with J 16, family group of five whales between 1.30pm and 2.30pm. Little J 42, 'Echo' was clearly visible along with big brother Mike, J 26. They were travelling south west off Hein Bank (see rest of report below under Minkes).

One of my friends is on her way to Victoria on the ferry out of Anacortes. She and her husband spotted J-Pod with the new baby off Blakely Island at 8:15 AM today, northbound. She said the ferry slowed to a crawl and the whales were pretty close to the boat and "put on quite a show."
