The pictures above & below show the rake marks on L78, possibly love bites from a female Orca!
This was one of the best evening encounters of the season with a spectacular encounter with members of Lpod! We caught up with this group of L's just north of Andrew's Bay and the group, which included L2 and L78, were in a very playful and rambunctious mood:) There were backflips, multiple spyhops, rolling around, tail flukes, cartwheels, porpoising, and a lot of interaction during the time we observed the orcas. There were also a few surprise moments for the passengers;) The action was just non-stop and our heads were constantly on a swivel trying to keep up with all that was going on!
An amazing sunset and cloud formation welcomed us as we returned to Victoria from a breathtaking evening:)

Wow is all I can say! Victoria was our last stop on a 7 day cruise on the Norwegian Pearl, and we were on the hunt for Orcas as a follow up to Humpbacks and Bald Eagles in Alaska...We were not dissapointed on the evening 3 hour tour (Gilligan's Island?:-) Great crew and great whales!!!! Thanks for the memories.

Double WOW, this was our best excursions of the trip. We enjoyed it so much we can not wait to take another trip again. Vicky was very intertaining and helpful when it came to explaining the orcas and their life styles. We enjoyed this so much and wished it was longer. I wished the ship would stayed their longer is our only regret. Thank you so much for the memories!!!!!!!!!!.
