Group member Robin reports Ferry has stopped for the orcas – moving west, north of ferry lanes, as viewed from anchor Park 1015
Water taxi cruised through WAY too fast, pretty much directly through the pod. For all the critiques leveled at whale watching tours, a convo needs to be held about that stuff.
There are ways to report this, you could start with the coastguard. Usually the WT is super considerate so maybe they weren’t aware, which would be odd.
This is actually been a problem lately. A few of them are acting pretty careless. You can report to WRAS in real time. Also, the ferries were well aware of their location.
Update from Jeff Hogan at me kwa mooks, whales are east side of channel – Southbound approaching restoration point, Bainbridge 1110
Spread out Mid channel, SB from South Bainbridge; Coasties with themThanks to James Tilley for sending pic I can confirm T65As (his photo is T65A3)
T65As is one group for sure but there’s at least 13 whales total. **
I hope they find that calf who’s mother died up on Vancouver Island this last weekend . He’s all alone up there ⁷
Jennifer, the calf isn’t missing – it doesn’t want to leave despite efforts to get it into open water. The plan for now is to grieve with it, and come up with another plan.
Sorry, comment time is over.
