5:30 sunset whale watch tour Tuesday July 16, 2009

Captain Craig just gave me the lowdown about last evenings whale watching tour.

The Resident Killer whale "L" pod (or part of the pod) were viewed last evening on our 5:30 sunset whale watching tour. The boat took off about 5:30. At that point the orca whales were about 3 miles east of Sooke in Canada heading east - our way. When we caught up to them they were near Discovery Island.

Captain Craig said the water by Discovery Island was a bit choppy, but and hour or so into the tour the water had layed down.


The guests had very good looks at 4 of the orcas. More orca were seen from a distance. The whales kept coming east - so that by the end of the tour the boat was near San Juan Island again. Even though we had to travel a good distance, we were still back at the dock around 8:30 pm.
