From the Wheelhouse:

What an incredible day on the water today! Orcas, humpback, Pacific white-sided dolphins, Dall's porpoise and more   We had the A8's; A23's; A11's; and G 17's....happy guests on both boats today.  Thanks to Robert Rosenthal from California for the great photos.

The orcas had a good rub in the Robson Bight Ecological Reserve and then came out into Johnstone Strait.  Our guests observed high speed travelling; heard awesome sound and echolocation.  G40, a big male executed an astounding full  breach out of the water!  To complete the day we had three humpback whales travelling together.  Some great tail flukes!

Captain Waynes quote of the day:

"The word booze was thought to have been brought into everyday language by sailors....it comes from the Dutch buizen (which means to drink to exess)."
