December 21. 2011: Big news! It's been kept quiet to make sure all parties confirmed, but NOAA's NW Fisheries Science Center and the Center for Whale Research have confirmed that on December 17, 39-year old J16 (Slick) gave birth to a new baby calf in Puget Sound, probably only a few hours judging from the fresh fetal folds, before being seen and photographed. This makes J16's fifth calf since her first, J26, was born in 1991. She was the sixteenth J pod orca photographed and identified by Mike Bigg in 1972, and is among the oldest whose age is known exactly. Her matriline is known as the J7's after J16's late mother. Ths is great news for the holiday season!

December 5. 2011: The Christmas Season is here and so are the whales! There have been recent reports of orca whales (transient and resident) near Victoria! It is not as busy this time of year, so we haven't had a trip out for a few weeks but we are here and ready to go when you are! We have 1:00pm departures scheduled each day that are subject to weather and enough passengers interested in going out. Reservations are required. Call today for more information.

October 15. 2011: Incredible to think that it's already October... Saturday was sunny and calm. The morning boat came across Transient killer whales just South of Race Rocks and followed them West. Our afternoon encounter was quite lucky as we came across the T18s only minutes after leaving the harbour at Trial Island. We followed them to Discovery Island and then went to spend some time with Split fin, aka Bart, by Beaumont Shoal. This particular humpback seems to enjoy tail lobbing!!
