  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.

  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

    • Kersti Muul March 27, 2024 (3:41 pm)

      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.
