June 28th - T124As Near Vancouver

The whales decided to travel to the waters just off Vancouver, so off we went across the Strait of Georgia to catch up with them! After an exciting crossing, we visited with the T124A family while they travelled west toward Howe Sound.

The T124A pod is a family of six individuals spanning three generations of whales! The 34 year old matriarch, T124A travels with four of her offspring, and her grandchild T124A2A who is just five years old.

After watching the T124A family for an hour, we passed by a buoy loaded with sleepy Steller sea lions before heading back to our dock in Nanaimo.
