This may not be an unusual event for many of you but as a newbie to these shores I was blown away this morning on my ferry commute from Bainbridge Island to Seattle to see what must have been at least 20 (likely more) Orcas swimming around. They were all travelling N to S. First caught a glimpse of something in the distance just south of Shillshoe and before I knew it the ferry had driven right through the line so there were whales on either side, some pretty close!

Again, this may be a regular occurance but it totally blew me away, as it probably did the two boats that looked like they were fishing near the port (isn't the season closed - not having a go, I just thought it was for a couple of weeks?). Anyway, what a way to start tyhe day!
