Aug 29th

What a great day! 6 transient killer whales! T31 with his beautiful tall straight pointed dorsal fin, the T41's (T41, T41a and a juvenile), T44 (male with a small rounded nick in the center of his dorsal) and T63 (male with a very handsome injury to his dorsal). Our morning trip witnessed what was thought to be 2 kills, as the animals carried out characteristic attack moves. It was a great sight to see all 6 orcas head straight to and through Race Rocks, then round towards William Head. Enjoy the video links below ...

The afternoon trip found us several miles SE offshore of Race Rocks with the same 6 transients, in lazy steady travel. We left the transients as they were still pointed towards the SE. I wonder if we'll see them tomorrow?
