It didn't take long after moving to San Juan Island to catch the local condition called "whale fever". No, it's not a version of the swine flu. Most people here are nuts for the Orca whales that live in these waters approximately April through October. It's hard not to get excited at seeing one of these huge, yet graceful, animals propel themselves out of the water right in front of you (if you're lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time).
