SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 2009, Afternoon Trip Transient Killer Whales Everywhere!
To paraphrase Yogi Berra's "No one goes there anymore...It's too crowded!", Five Star Whale Watching's crew was saying "We have no reports of Killer Whales...But we can't get back to Port because we keep finding Killer Whales".
When we left the dock at 2:00pm we had only one report of whales, and those animals were too far away for us to get to. And then, over the course of the next three hours we came across three different groups of Tranient (Marine-Mammal-Eating) Killer Whales, and heard a report of another group 10 miles (16kms) to the North.
Incredible!
Note: Ron Bates of the Marine Mammal Research Group (MMRG) will review these photos and identify who these animals were, as each Killer Whales has been given its own identifier based on the shape of its dorsal fin, Saddle Patch and any obvious nicks, cuts and/or scratches.
