July 27th, 2010

Good morning from the Float House
Discovery Harbour Marina

Some days everything falls into place and today was just that day for the 24 guests out on the Whale Watching tour with us.

We started out with a beautiful sunny day and our first Black Bear on Vancouver Island near Chatam Point. We met up with the Orca near Windy Point, just west of Kelsey Bay. The 4 family Orca groups (A36's, A11's, A8's and A12) were very happy and vocalized continuously all the way east to Camp Point. With lots of playful tail flaps and spy hops, the Orca made it clear that they were in a great mood and fishing seemed to be very good. Picture of A11, senior matraline of her family. Notice the markings on the back side of her dorsal fin. Where do these come from? No one really knows but it could be similar to the scars we get as we go through life, playing rough when we are young etc.

Lunch at historic Port Neville pictured as well. great lunches by "Comfort Zone" in Willow Point as well as coffee and hot chocolate of course! Sad to say that the post Office in Port Neville has closed down after many, many years. The good news is that Lora (Post Mistress and friend to many of us on the water) is getting married in October!

Hope your day included a walk in the sun shine today.

Cheers
