Today was another amazing fall whale sighting. We had a sunny morning as we happen to drive straight out to the humpbacks. Wasting no time, we arrived with two peculiar individuals deep feeding and lacking their fluke raises. However, they were brilliant to watch as always. We soon were encouraged to find the orca's. As we scoped out west, we had a pod to our right and soon one to our left. We found ourselves amongst the party of five transients, the T2's. This group of mothers and calves lowly rolled alongside us. The young ones were porpoising and doing cartwheels for a very good watch.

This afternoon we ventured down south to two transient orca pods traveling and socializing together. The mammal eater's, T20's, of mother and son were tail slapping and spy hopping amongst the group of females, T2's, we had visited this morning. They were barely moving, zigzagging and showing themselves off in the afternoon sun. Heading towards Victoria after a cruise through the pinniped query around Race Rocks, we thought we would try to find some humpback whales. Even though there was no sightings yet in the afternoon, it only took a few minutes looking and we were with the two whales we had our morning coffee with. It has been a week full of marine biodiversity that does not disappoint!
