Five Star Whale Watching Spring Transient 2006

4:30 PM March 11th 2006; Haro Strait - Kelp Reef - San Juan Island. Our first Super Cat trip of the year was very exciting! Capt. Trev, researcher Ron and I (naturalist-Jeff) we're really happy to be getting out on the water so soon this year. The Supercat departed Victoria Harbour with a dozen intrepid Canadian and Bosnian travelers looking for marine
wildlife. As usual, while I briefed the passengers on
the Catamaran's safety features Capt. Trev and Ron discussed the latest sightings in the past week and planned our route. Ron had knowledge of Resident Orca pods L-12 and K heading north up Swanson Channel the previous afternoon. He also knew there were Steller Sealions in the vicinity of Green Point on Spieden Island. We set out into light north easterly winds and warm sunshine.
