From the Wheelhouse:

It was a bit breezy today but we were able to locate the A24's (6 orca) this morning.  Lots of breaches and tail slaps by the new youngster!  As we headed back to Telegraph Cove the killer whales were westing (towards the Cove).

As I prepared my afternoon clients to see them, we boarded and left the Cove.  Mother Nature had a humbling experience as the orcas seemed to vanish into thin air.  We cruised all over and did not find them, however we did encounter a humpback whale that breached and did several tail slaps. 

The brish Northwest wind made sightings of dolphins and the smaller cetaceans a little more challenging but we did see some Dall's porpoise and over 20 harbour seals.  Still lots of seabirds including the bald eagles who are majestic to watch as they swoop to feed.

Captain Wayne's quote of the day:

'If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing rods.'    Doug Larsen
