[Lauren Fritz, M/V Sea Lion, 08/15/17, 1:30 pm Tour]
We saw some rare visitors from Alaska today - the T10's! These animals are most frequently seen up north, but they decided to make a surprise appearance in the Salish Sea this week. There was a female with a large nick near the base of her dorsal fin and one of her large sons, spotted cruising along the Salt Spring shoreline today. They even surprised some campers near the shoreline of one of the provincial parks on the island - imagine lounging in the sun and looking up to see a huge orca fin just a few yards offshore!
Check out some of my favorite photos from the trip below, and thanks to those of you who came out with us.
