YES ! SUMMER IS HERE .
So...let's start with yesterday :) We managed to catch up to the A23/24's in Johnstone Strait at Camp Point - their second favourite rubbing area. It is always nice to have them this side of Kelsey Bay; and to top it off we got to see the T002's on the way home. Lots of black bear still in Bute Inlet especially, the other day we saw at least 6 bears foraging on the shore line. And SUMMER Is HERE!!!
And today, we bounced our way up (gently) Discovery Passage and Johnstone Strait, when a funny thing happened. Bathroom break (coffee drinkers :)) at Camp Point, and heard a PAN PAN (distress/non urgent) call on Ch. 16 about Orca in Sunderland Channel, just around the corner.
Well this pleasure boater who called in made a tad of a mistake - in terms of how they called it in, and got a little bit of a talking to by Comox Coast Guard, but he led us to the Orca. And we got to view them in Calm Waters - fun was had by all, and we even got to view a 'high tide' black bear in Philiips arm.

EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME !

Driving up Johnstone Strait, to view the resident Orca - calm seas and sunshine. Reports were that all the current Resident Orca, A12, A36's, A24's and A23's were West infront of Cracroft Point. A long way, but we were on our way but...the report of the A23's and 24's was not confirmed and we found them East of Eve River in Johnstone Strait, lazily making their way to the East! A great viewing - we had a great lunch and made our way through Sunderland Channel - only to find a group of 3 transient Orca heading into Welbourne Passage and then....a black bear in Chancellor Channel - and a beautiful boat ride home... an experience of a life time for all!

WHAT AN AMAZING DAY !

A few days of sun - and everyone is smiling. We had a group of Transient Orca today frolicking, and I mean frolicking in Seymour Narrows for the majority of the day. Breaching, tail slaps, spy hops, amazing vocals...and we think some 'loving' was in the air. One of the most amazing experiences to see, for all the guides and guests on the water.
And..a large group of pacific white sided dolphins at Hall Point (Nodales) and black bears on Sonora Island and Bute Inlet. Weather held till the end of the day - and we are again, looking forward to what beholds us tomorrow.

Hello Jack


What a great Ocean Rapids trip everyone had yesterday! Our guide, Erin, was awesome! You can't believe how great it was that our Spanish students could experience this and even better that we had Erin's experience and know how to allow us the opportunity to see black bear, dolphins, harbour seals, sea lions and more.

A trip of a live time for most of them!
Thanks so much, Holly
