From the Wheelhouse:

This morning we received a report of killer whales easting from Bere Point, courtesy of Gordie Graham, and we were so excited to learn that these were resident (fish-eating) killer whales.  The A24's came into the Blackfish Sound and Johnstone Strait area.  A24 was swimming proudly with a new calf at her side.  It was really exciting to see over 100 Pacific white-sided dolphins interacting with the orcas.  Wonderful vocals and echo-location.

Today we were pleased to not only have our international guests, but also front line partners in tourism aboard both tours.  Not only did we see orcas, but also a humpback whale, lots of active Dall' porpoise, harbour seals and an abundance of sea birds and bald eagles.

It was a wonderful day, the weather was a little cool but the what the heck.......we had orcas!!!!
