An Amazing Day on the Water! – 8/7/17
Most days on the water are spectacular, other days are insanely EPIC. Today was most definitely the latter! Not only did we find two families of transient mammal-hunting killer whales, including lone male T51, close to Victoria, but we also found breaching Humpbacks! The waterfront was choppy, but the southbound killer whales seemed to enjoy…
