July 3, 2010

Good morning from the Float House in Discovery Harbour Marina

The resident Orca have arrived !!!

We headed out yesterday morning with confidence high and we were rewarded with great news, A12 and the A36's had arrived in Johnstone Strait for the first time this year. The way up was cool but a pair of Black Bear yearling (most likely siblings) warmed our hearts as they foraged together along the mainland shore near Kelsey Bay. (pic) After a great lunch at Port Neville we ran into about 500+ Pacific White Sided Dolphin in Blackfish Sound. Much to our surprise a Humpback Whale surfaced in the middle of the Dolphins ! (pic) Lots of very small herring for all to eat and the Dolphin made a sport of it as they raced through the herring and terrific speed.
We finally caught up with the Orca a few miles further on in Blackfish Sound. A12 and the A36's were working their way slowly east. No vocals but the weather was warm and calm, creating the perfect lighting for pictures ! (pic - A12 & A37)

A super day all round for our very greatful guests.

Cheers
