A trip to Orcas Island in the San Juans

We decided to take a camping trip to Moran State Park on Orcas Island in the San Juan Island group. It is about an hour and a half drive from our home in Clearview to the ferry landing at Anacortes and then a little over an hour ferry ride to Orcas Island. It was raining hard when we left home at 7 am but the sky gradually cleared as we made our way to Anacortes and there was some blue sky and sunshine by the time the ferry boarded. Along the way the ferry captain announced an Orca whale sighting and stopped the ferry about a quarter mile away from the pod. Everyone who was not already outside flooded to the front viewing decks and oohed and aahed as the Orcas broke water. My GoPro was not good enough to capture them, but we saw a number of fins break the surface and spumes shooting into the air. We sat dead in the water for ten or fifteen minutes before continuing our journey. It was a wonderful experience all around.
