Transient T14

Teachers from the Gwa'sala-Nakwaxda'xw School

   

From the Wheelhouse:

We had the good fortune to be visited by 7 plus transient orca (T14, T20, T02, T02C, T02C1, T02C2 and the T46's), this morning.  It is always quite exciting to see transients as they are quite elusive as they must travel in slealth mode in order to surprise their prey.  We had a magnificent view of a baby breach along with some great surface activity.

Along with the transient orca there was a wealth of other activity on the water.  We have been seeing humpback whales on almost a daily basis in the past couple of weeks and today we had two humpback whale sightings.  Lots of Dall's porpoise, a nice group of Pacific white-sided dolphins, harbour seals and an abundance of bald eagles.  We also had the privilege of taking the teachers from the Gwa'sala-Nakwaxda'xw School for their end of the year celebration!

It was wonderful to have so many passengers interested in nature!  A great day on the water.
