On the night of 7/1/14 or early in the morning of 7/2/14, K pod returned to San Juan Island, joined J and L pod and formed the first superpod gathering of the season! Aboard the Odyssey of San Juan Excursions, we departed from Friday Harbor and headed North to see the family reunion. We met up with the J, K, and L pod as they headed past Stuart Island, aimed for the Fraser River. J and K pod were in the lead while L pod (minus the L12's, L22's and L54's) brought up the rear. Towards the end of the encounter, L pod turned around and headed back down towards San Juan while J and K pod continued on.

The L4's, L26's, L43's, and L47's surface together.
Time to turn around!
I saw members from each of K pod's matrilines and am so happy they are back!! Hopefully they find enough to stick around for awhile!
