Good morning from the Float House !
Discovery Harbour Marina
Yesterday was quite a day ! Weather excellent ! Wildlife incredible ! Guests - blown away !
The morning began warm with calm seas and a group of about 20 -25 Pacific White Sided Dolphin in Seymour Narrows heading north. Playful in the incredibly clear waters of Discovery passage, it was hard to leave this group behind but we had Orca farther up the Strait. About an hour later we found the Orca near Kelsey Bay. A group called the A36's (pic attached) and A12 were making their way west but turned about noon and headed back toward Campbell River.
Heading for lunch at Blind Channel Resort, we found 2 yearling Black Bears in Chancellor Channel. (pic) The same brother and sister that we had seen few days earlier. Back in the boat after lunch we were back into Johnstone Strait to see the same Orca near Rock Bay, still heading east and then the Pacific White Sided Dolphin again except the numbers had increased to about 30+ and they were in the mood for some aerial stunts. With the some incredibly high jumps and repeative belly flops, the Dolphins stole the show ! The Dolphins will be remembered as the highlight of the day. (this always happens as I think the Orca take life way more seriously then their cousins, the Dolphins)
Another warm day set for today and word has it that 3 more Orca groups have arrived in the Strait late yesterday!
