In search of orcas, we took the ferry from Anacortes to San Juan Island. If you're lucky, you can stand on the shoreline and see the awesome animals just yards offshore. But (heavy sigh), they eluded us; as we managed to arrive exactly at the spot where they just WERE a few short minutes before we arrived ... and we never did see a single orca. Oh well. The ride around San Juan Island was a blast. Another great day on the road!
