Good evening from the Float House
Discovery Harbour Marina

And what a day is was !

Our Grizzly tours has been wonderful this year but today ..... had to be one of those that will stay in our memories for a long time.

The pictures only begin to show the Grizzly show at the Orford today, the sleeping boar, 30 feet from our viewing tour, the snorkeling for salmon Grizzly and many, many others as well. The weather was wonderful as well, the lunch on the dock in Orford Bay and then ..., 35+ Orca in Discovery Passage on the way home. I have attached a picture of A38 (of the A30's) and G38 (of the G17's) but we also had the A12's, A36's, and I11's. These Orca have been south of Campbell River for the past 3 days. Why ? We are not sure but Northern Resident Orca often feed south of us in the winter and early spring but this was a new one for most of us.

A fabulous day for all who happened to be on the water or at the Orford today.

Cheers
