Wednesday, June 10th

This morning Captain Brad, Jenna and Helen headed out on the Orca Spirit, past Race Rocks and Beachy Head, lured by the news of three transient orcas in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Braving a pretty choppy sea state, several willing guests and crew took the splashes for the view at the front. Despite the high swell we encountered the three transients and had some great viewing before heading back via our finned friends at Race Rocks.

This evening Captain Brad, Jenna and Helen left the harbour together on Pacific Explorer for a nice evening voyage. After leaving members of L-pod just an hour ago previously, we heading back to South of San Juan Island where they had been. L-12’s are a sub-pod of the L family. After sticking with them for some time we headed back when news came through of some transient orcas north of Discovery. We stopped to check them out and saw T20 and T 21. After this nice surprise, we then braved the choppy seas and made it safely back to Victoria. Hooray! Another great whale trip!
