Got to meet the newest member of the T36A1s today! This little one, who has received the designation T36A1B from Bay Cetology, was first documented on September 26th and appears to be a few weeks old.

My favorite dynamic duo - T49A2 Jude and his uncle T49C Neilson - were on an absolute rampage this afternoon off Orcas Island. At a minimum, we think they took 4 seals over the course of 50 minutes! 😳

Okay, well, that was unexpected. Nothing seems to have happened to the code.

But, at around the same time, my sailing co-op's boat had an encounter with a rock. It's currently stranded until 5pm's high tide.

Which means it's once more time for me to use a particular gif.

The T19s are changing their status from San Juan Spring whales to San Juan September whales! 🍂

We've had several encounters with them this month, including this evening right outside Friday Harbor where T19B Galiano did a spyhop next to his brother T19C Spouter.

Happy first day of fall Storytellers! Some of our favourite encounters in the #SalishSea have happened during autumn so we can't wait to hear about this year's stories!
