Orcas in the mist!

From the wheelhouse:

The day turned out to be nicer than anticipated   A few showers this morning but that didn't damper the spirits of our guests...two humpback whales KC and Twister; amazing bow-riding Dall's porpoise; Pacific white-sided dolphins and a noted selection of seabirds.

This afternoon as we cruised along we saw the A8's and A23's appear out of the mist   The picture above is A66 with A69 and A43 of the A23's.  Wondeful vocalizations, power dives and travelling and to the excitment of everyone the new calf did a full breach

On our way back to Telegraph Cove through the Stephenson Islets we had a really good look at the numerous harbour seal moms with lots of pups

Captain Wayne's quote of the day:
