J31's Story: Grief in Our Waters
The orca community is mourning—J31 has been carrying her dead calf, a heartbreaking reminder that even our island's most iconic residents face profound loss. Today's low tides (that dramatic 1.07-footer at 11:09pm) might offer a chance to reflect by the water, though the drizzle and brisk 12mph winds suggest bundling up. Golden hour hits at 5:51pm if you want to catch the light one last time before the weekend truly begins.
