Memorial Day Weekend - Saturday - More Orcas!

I had class starting at 10:00am and going till around 4:00pm.  As soon as class was over, a number of us headed to the park to see if the orcas were there.

The orcas arrived just before 5:00pm coming from the south and heading north.  After they had all gone past, just about everyone left for the day.  A few of us diehards remained to enjoy the beautiful weather and just in case anymore orcas came by.  Well, again we were not disappointed as the ones that had gone north turned around and came back!  We had J14 (Samish) with her new little one, J45, along with J30 (Riptide), and J26 (Mike).  They stayed until almost 7:00pm and we were treated to spyhopping, breaching, tail slaps, and those of us with cameras got some wonderful shots!  Little J45 looked like his mom had told him to go practice his breaching as he was up and down over 20 times!  He was also having fun doing tail slaps. We were definitely glad we stayed :)
