The water was a bit choppy but we had blue sky.  No more forest fire smoke which was nice. Lots of whales today. We had Biggs Pods T37A’s-T36B-T99’s-T36A’s today.

The tour started out for the T99’s and T36A’s. On the way, I learned of a group of T’s were spotted off Sucia Island. I headed that way to help find them.

I am very proud of our Pacific Whale Watch Association.  All members are true advocates for the whales. PWWA boats work together in many ways. Warning fast boats approaching that whales are present. Alerting WDFW of violations.

Our group watched the T37A’s and T36B for a while. The water started getting sloppy so we took off to see some Stellar Sea Lions. Then we were off to see the other group of Orca, the T99’s and the T36A’s.

It was such a great day. We saw a couple kills happening. What was killed could not be determined if they were Harbor Porpoise or Harbor Seals. All total the Biggs Pods T37A’s-T36B-T99’s-T36A’s made for a great day.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Spirit of Orca 20180831 1Spirit of Orca 20180831 7Spirit of Orca 20180831 6Spirit of Orca 20180831 5Spirit of Orca 20180831 4Spirit of Orca 20180831 3Spirit of Orca 20180831 2 Spirit of Orca 20180831 12Spirit of Orca 20180831 11Spirit of Orca 20180831 10Spirit of Orca 20180831 9Spirit of Orca 20180831 8 Spirit of Orca 20180831 17Spirit of Orca 20180831 16Spirit of Orca 20180831 15Spirit of Orca 20180831 14Spirit of Orca 20180831 13 Spirit of Orca 20180831 18Spirit of Orca 20180831 22Spirit of Orca 20180831 21Spirit of Orca 20180831 20Spirit of Orca 20180831 19 Spirit of Orca 20180831 23Spirit of Orca 20180831 27Spirit of Orca 20180831 26Spirit of Orca 20180831 25Spirit of Orca 20180831 24 Spirit of Orca 20180831 28Spirit of Orca 20180831 32Spirit of Orca 20180831 31Spirit of Orca 20180831 30Spirit of Orca 20180831 29 Spirit of Orca 20180831 33Spirit of Orca 20180831 37Spirit of Orca 20180831 36Spirit of Orca 20180831 35Spirit of Orca 20180831 34 Spirit of Orca 20180831 38Spirit of Orca 20180831 42Spirit of Orca 20180831 41Spirit of Orca 20180831 40Spirit of Orca 20180831 39 Spirit of Orca 20180831 43Spirit of Orca 20180831 47Spirit of Orca 20180831 46Spirit of Orca 20180831 45Spirit of Orca 20180831 44[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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
