You are all welcome to visit Orcas....the pertussis is really nice this time of year. But if you wait too long to come out, you may need to row yourself out here, because the number of ferries still running is rapidly dwindling!
As for seeing the whales, be careful not to get too close because we will soon have a local patrol boat out to fine anyone getting too close....you know like close enough to see one.
And if you do come visit.....you also must leave, no moving here or the island might sink...especially if you are from California (sorry Donna, the "islanders" made me include that because they say we have surpassed our quota on Californians, no offense intended!) :-)
