Ferry Tail

Orca with Prevost and Salt Spring Islands in the background.

I know lots of people seem to see whales from the ferry. Finally it was my turn. These are shot late in the day from the back of the boat as we stayed well clear of the Orcas. The middle and right images below were taken far, far, far from the boat. Still, it’s a representation at least, of some of their antics.

Orca Family Sunset Swim

 

Orcas. A mother and calf swim by at dusk.
A bit far for a good look from shore, even with a long lens. But it was still a special moment! A dozen or so individually swam by over a period of 20 minutes, each surfacing occasionally for a couple of seconds.
The mother and calf were the only two swimming together and they were perfectly synchronized.
