It was a long ride but worth it, twice. Once down there, myself and a research boat began scanning for the orca that had been reported. It did not take long and we were viewing the T37’s, T34’s, and T65A’s. We had roughly 14 whales, though I didn’t concentrate on a count.

They were slowly making their way north towards Strait of Juan de Fuca. When they got to the end though we observed then kinda circle the wagons. I thought they were on a hunt since there were several harbor porpoises near them. But they just started heading south again.

On the way home, we stopped off and viewed several Tufted Puffins and Stellar Sea Lions.

The second tour was going to be a few miles further south since they had maintained their reversal. I arrived at the last known location from a half-hour earlier and proceeded further where I thought they might be. No sign of them. I headed east towards Bush Point and we found a few groups of them spread out.

On the way home, the water was choppy for puffins but we did stop to see the Stellar Sea Lions again with the evening sun.

We started the day looking for a humpback that never materialized, then made our way to a group of feeding humpbacks south of Victoria. From
