Good morning from the Float House
Discovery Harbour Marina

In celebration of a new member of the "A" Clan, A56's new calf came for a visit yesterday. I have zoomed this picture in as much as possible so you can see that unique "buttery" quality of the new born Orca. The calf travelled the 90+ miles down from the Port Hardy area without a hitch and seems to be doing very well. The entire family were very vocal and playful as they entered Nodales Channel Thursday morning. They seem to be getting enough to eat because they were heading west at Rock Bay about 3:30 pm when they turned and headed back into Nodales once again.

Looking forward to another summer sizzler on the water today. Departing 8:00 am !
Hope to see you on the water!

Cheers
