Zodiac Adventure Sept 12 1pm

The fog that was seen in the morning, dispersed south by early afternoon and we had sunshine for the 1pm trip. Mark's Zodiac, with visitors from all over the world, headed north toward Mandarte Island to find seven ''Transients '', mammal eating whales. They were spread out across Haro Strait and heading south. Initially our encounter was with a group of four, a female with a young calf, then another group of two, with the lone Bull, T30, foraging off by himself. A quick trip to the Chain Islets to see Harbour Seals, gull and cormorant colony, concluded our exciting, west coast marine adventure. Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
