All those sailboats you saw off West Seattle shores today? The Three Tree Point Yacht Club‘s 31st annual Duwamish Head Race (here’s the home page). Thanks to JayDee for the first three photos.

The race’s starting point was Des Moines.

That’s also where members are now gathered to wait for the results. The next photo is courtesy Russ Walker:

Did any of you sailors see 4-6 orca or porpoise north of Lowman Beach in West Seattle about 30 minutes before sundown today?

Was sadly not among the sailors :) but I do know Orca Network got a report of orcas heading north from Point Robinson on Vashon in early afternoon … TR

Thanks! I spoke with Orca Network a few hours ago – unfortunately, they couldn’t ID these animals.

I was on the race yesterday and didn’t get to see any of the whales/porpoise. Thanks for all the pictures of the boats. Duwamish Head is race #2 of the 4 race South Sound Series. More pictures and results will also be posted at this site as they come in: http://www.ssseries.org
