Good morning from the Float House
Discovery Harbour Marina

While the story of the fabulous fishing on the B.C. coast has made the news this summer, the underlying story of the numerous and happy Orca in Johnstone Strait has gone unheard. What a season it has been!

The past 2 weeks of warm weather and little wind has made for some of the best Whale Watching experiences in the past 10 years. With multiple pods of "A" and "I" Clans in the Strait combined with "Transient Orca " sightings almost on a daily basis, has made everyday on the water an incredible adventure.

Pictured is "A12" along side her adopted boys A37 and A46. Quite a touching story is unfolding with this small group of Orca. A story that is too long for this Blog but needs to be shared at some point.

If you haven't been able to find the time to get out on the water this summer it is not too late. The fish keep flowing in from the west and the Orca will be here right through September.

Cheers
