A New Calf for T100B! – 30/5/16

On my trip out today, one of my passengers spotted the Orcas!! We were excited to see that it was more than the initial 5 animals we saw pop up.

Instead it was the T124A’s, T86A’s, T123’s and T100’s!

There was just something about this photo...

As we were enjoying our time with them we noticed a very small, very orangey little one, still with the remnants of it’s fetal folds, travelling right beside T100B.

With flat calm seas and a T-party, it’s really hard to have a bad day!

  2. All of the Southern residents have names, not just numbers.It would be great to name each whale in the different pods too. I believe it helps people care more about their welfare. How about Angel for mom T100 and Miracle for the calf??
