On August 14th both our morning and afternoon trips were successful in finding whales! In the morning we had the T101’s, a group of 3 Transient Orcas comprised of Momma Reef and her 2 surviving sons Rush and Lagoon. We also had 2 separate humpback encounters. One of the humpbacks in the first pair was identified as Beak/Nuage. These 2 were traveling slowly and only Beak fluked for us.
The second group of Humpbacks we traveled with were Zigzag and her new calf, and today they had a friend with them.
It was a lovely, calm day when our vessels departed Nanaimo and encountered lots of whales in the Strait of Georgia! In the morning we saw a pod of Bigg’s killer whales, the T101’s traveling along the east side of Gabriola Island.
After visiting with the orca we encountered two humpback whales just a bit south of where we were. Using dorsal fins, flukes, and our handy ID catalogue, we were able to identify one of these individuals as “Ocular”.
In the afternoon we encountered a different pod of Bigg’s orca, the T37s and the T18/19s, about 10 ten whales. They were pretty active and social and we were treated to some spy hops, breaches, tail slaps, barrel rolls, and pec slaps.
