For any of you near Lummi island, our friends at Orca Network has received several whale sighting reports of a pod of Orca whales passing nearby a few hours ago…

“Orcas off Lummi Island this morning:
We saw Orcas at 10:30-10:50 am traveling north up Hale Passage, on the east side of Lummi Island (approx. 48oN 44', and 123oW 41'). They went further north than Pt. Migley in the direction of Sandy Pt. and then seemed to head west.
We saw 4 whales, and one of them had a massive, straight dorsal fin…. They were surfaced frequently in short rolls as they traveled.”

*Orca Network is a Whidbey-island based non-profit which the Orca Challenge Race proceeds benefit…you can follow them on Facebook and/or learn more at www.orcanetwork.org

Happy & safe storm paddling and keep an eye out for our favorite friends to paddle with!
