Zodiac Adventure Sept 12 10am

The sunny days of September continue and so do the whale sightings. Our intrepid Skipper Mark, 'Mallard' took us out west, near Sooke to locate the whales. Although there was some fog to negotiate, we soon came across L Pod heading west. It appeared that the 'big boys'of this pod were foraging off shore and leading the pod. Mothers and calves followed. L 25 ,''Ocean Sun '', the oldest female in L Pod, swam past the Zodiac. It was great to see all these amazing whales once again even when the ocean swells hid them momentarily. Sea birds and gulls were numerous indicating the waters were rich with tiny fish. Another great adventure here on the west coast. Photos by "Orca-Magic"
