OK, I got the DSLR out and swapped lenses; that wide angle that works for the scooter photos isn't the answer for whales.
While prepping the boat, I got a report from one of the Canadian boats: Haro Strait, off-shore. Driving from Friday Harbor, I knew I could get there in an hour or so. He would be leaving before we got there, so we'd have to find them with a "general area" to go by. Better than no report.
We were miles away from that area when I saw this...
And, no other boats around. I made a location report, and our naturalist, Brendan, made an ID: the "cookie clan"... J-Pod family, Oreo and DoubleStuff. We traveled along with them for a while before going further south. It was a good day on the water - Orcas, eagles, seals, even saw a couple Minke whales on our way home.
A few more images...

Great pics Jim! Way to multi task with the camera!
Thanks, Mark. A nice day out there. We were able to shut down for a time while the whales were milling; gives me a chance to get a few photos.
