Good morning from the Float House
Discovery Harbour Marina
A little blustery on the water today. The Orca (A11's, A8's, A23's and A25's) were westing out of Nodales Passage about 8:00 am and we caught up with them at Ripple Point in a strong westerly and ebbing tide. A little salty but things went well.
We followed the Orca for about an hour and a half, got a few good pictures and then headed for the calm waters of Blind Channel for lunch.
With a falling tide all morning we decided to head down Philps Arm to see if the resident Grizzly was on the beach. We were fortunate and found him grazing in the shaded tall grasses of the estuary. (sorry no pic)
On the way home we came apon this yearling Black Bear trying to get a prize eel from beneath the rocks. (see pic) He worked on this projest with enthusiasm but came up without lunch.
Guests from around the world including Israel, Holland, Ireland and Australia, enjoyed a great day on the water and we look forward to doing it all again tomorrow.
Cheers
