This afternoon the Sea Lion made a long trek up into the Strait of Georgia where we encountered the T65A’s socializing. We left Friday Harbor with reports of orcas near Point Roberts, not far from the city of Vancouver. We journeyed our way up to that area and on the way we saw some harbor porpoise. Once up in the strait we watched the whales as they appeared to be socializing, we even got to see one whale spyhop out of the water. Because we went such a distance to be able to see the whales we didn’t get to spend a huge amount of time with them but I think it was well worth our time. On our way back towards Friday Harbor we spotted a humpback whale while we were in transit. It was a long haul to see whales today but our guests enjoyed seeing some of our mammal-eating orcas.
