August 24th - FastCat





Our 10 am trip took us out to Becher Bay where 2 transient orca were reported by a sportfishing boat. As we watched T46B and T46B1, more reports rolled in of more transients south of Race Rocks. These transients included the T100's and T101's along with one of our favorite's, T14 (Pender). The trip was finished by a trip to Race Rocks to check out the seals and sealions on the islands.

Our guests at 2pm were treated to the rare situation of viewing both transient and resident orca in one trip. As all three of our resident pods headed east down the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the transients hung out 3 miles to the South. It was an amazing day!

Enjoy the photos, but keep in mind......photos are taken with a zoom lens and then doctored on my computer. Animals are NOT as close as they appear! For more photos check out www.flickr.com/photos/chelseastanley/
