Saturday, October 18th

It was another steller October day of whale watching as Captain Brad and naturalists Corey and Kaylin journeyed out into Juan De Fuca. After beginning our trip with an unfortunately unsuccessful search for humpback whales near Constance Bank, we travelled west to meet up some transient orcas. We started our orca watching by viewing a group of transient orcas known as the T2's. Just a short distance away, we encountered another group of orcas, the large male T20 and his probable mother, T21. Both groups of orcas appeared in to be in travelling mode as they made their way slowly west. No trip feels complete when we travel southwest of Victoria if we do not stop at Race Rocks. There, we watched a large group of steller sea lions playing off the bow of our vessel, and dozens more hauled out on the numerous rocky outcrops. To cap off yet another excellent trip, we travelled to William Head where the T46B's and members of the T49 group were displaying some active behaviour as zigged and zagged near the old prison docks. Another awesome trip!!
