Good morning from the Float House
Discovery Harbour Marina
The Orca pictured here are part of the T124's (Transient Orca) we found this morning with the great help of a Tow & Tug in Johnstone Strait. On our way up to see the A11's and A's from yesterday we had a call from the Tug that he had Orca passing him just south of Kelsey Bay. With a little luck and persistence, we found the group close to shore making their way south. Note how the Transient Orca (mammal eating) have dorsal fins that come to a point rather than curved like the Resident. While this is not always the case, it is one characteristic that sets Transients apart from Resident Orca.
A little blustery in Johnstone Strait today ! A little salt and a lot of sun shine made the Orca viewing just that much more exciting.
Cheers
