Sept 7th

Our Thursday morning trip was spent out south west, looking for our cetacean friends. No such luck, but with a trip full of California sealions, Stellar sealions, harbour seals, elephant seals, turkey vultures, bald eagles, a bull kelp harvest and talk, and a doe and fawn white tailed deer close to the shoreline .... everyone on board was very happy! The afternoon brought word of transient orca in Boundary Pass! As we got closer, the report turned into Georgia strait (further north, and further to go!), so with Point Roberts in sight, we viewed 11-12 transient killer whales in a seemingly relaxed playful state, non directional! See short video clip below..

Long trip, but well worth it for everyone on board!
