They can roam 100+ miles in a 24 hour period! It's thanks to community scientist sightings networks that we know where to look. Kayaks unfortunately are pretty limited in the range they can travel so it takes a serious stroke of luck to be able to see them from a kayak.

Our last report of them was in the central and western Strait of Juan de Fuca in September!
