Once I was going out to San Juan Island and riding the WA St ferry. Part way to Friday Harbor, the boat slows to a stop. The captain came on the mic and said that there were of Orcas crossing in front of the boat, so we had to stop. Sure enough, a pod of them swam right by. I took pictures from the top deck. It was awesome! All told, we had to wait an extra 15 minutes, but it was worth it.
