First reported to Orca Network by Maia of WA State Ferries at 11:45am traveling southbound near the south end of Bainbridge Island, we caught up with T087, the T90's & 3 (yet to be ID'd) individuals further south at Dilworth on Vashon Island at 2:45pm. Shortly before, a friend witnessed the pod take an animal and as the video begins you'll see how very relaxed they appear. Nearly two hours later (approx. 4:40pm) they approached and rounded Point Robinson much to the happiness of a very patient, large and happy bunch of humans (and doggies). As they were passing the pod (s) grouped up tight just before going under for long dive, surfacing approximately 4-5 minutes later south of the point. We just had us another beautiful and exhilarating winter's day here in the PNW!
