July 28, 2006 – 5pm

Another stellar trip was in store for the passengers aboard the Orca Spirit as we travelled west to meet up with K and L-Pod that had been seen travelling inbound earlier in the day. We encountered the whales near Beechey Head, in East Sooke Park and were thrilled to see a large number of active orcas. It was astounding to see how far the whales had swam in a very short time span as we had left the whales over 15 miles away only two hours earlier. It was an excellent evening and we were thrilled to see a large number of different killer whale behaviours including breaching, porpoising, tail slapping and pectoral slapping, complemented by some great vocalizations. We finished our evening trip by visiting with Faith (L57) and a small group of other unidentified orcas, followed by a visit to a customer favourite, the Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. It was another great trip!
