This last Friday, Victor and I decided to go on an overnighter on the boat (before fall and all the rain comes). We launched at Nisqually kind of late so we headed straight to our overnight destination before the sunlight was gone. About 20 min after we took off I noticed a huge fin come out of the water. I instantly thought "shark!", then came to my senses and said no the fin's to tall... "dolphin!". Then I heard them spray water out of their blowhole and I freaked and and screamed "whales!". We were close enough that you could see the black and white on their skin. I rushed to pull out our camera and got them on camera for a few seconds. I was so excited I started shrieking and made Victor chase them for a little bit. ( Even though we were losing daylight) It's pretty rare to find them this far south in the Puget Sound. They migrate south every year, but you have to be in the right place at just the right time. The funniest part to me is that on Memorial Day weekend we went all the way up to the San Juans in hopes to see some Orca's and we end up finding them right here in Lacey. (I say that in the video too lol) I'm horrible at editing, so here's the whole video uncut. The orca's are only in the first 15-20 seconds and the rest is me babbling... Enjoy!
