I’ll take a “drive by” by an Orca over Right Wales breaching around you…lol

Right Wales migrate through the area about the same time the Stripers arrive from up north

I saw quite a few humpbacks today fairly close to my boat. I'll try to get a few pictures tomorrow to post. Are Right Whales bigger then Humpbacks?

“Their immense bulk makes right whales significantly heavier than other whales of similar or greater length such as the humpback, gray, sperm and even fin whales. In fact, right whales rank only behind the blue whale in sheer body mass.”

folks live 50 ft form the water on Lopez Island WA. Had a orca pod cruise by when they were doing their daily walk.

Soooooo!!! Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah, the whales were everywhere that morning! I took my sister and daughter out the next morning and it was a repeat of the same show. Unfortunately their video's didn't turn out as good. As you can see, we were really close to shore too.
