Sept 6th

With reports of transients somewhere off Albert Head (just off Victoria waterfront), we were all optimistic in finding them. Alas, the fog must have clouded them from sight as we could not see any orcas anywhere! We saw Race Rocks in such thick fog that when we drifted through, the lighthouse was very difficult to see! Made it all the more enchanting though!
By the afternoon trip we learnt that J pod were west bound from Point No Point, way out west. We made an early start, and decided to go for it. One of the other vessels, Mike on Kodiak, radioed to say he had transients off Sooke (right where we were!), so with a relief sigh we had a great visit with T100 and her 3 kids! Excellent! See below video link!

We encounted a bigball of feed that was satisfying the gulls, and as we drifted by, it appeared to be being driven to the surface by a much larger fish down there!! Maybe a small shark!
