June 19
It was quite the day, 19th of June out west off Vancouver Island. What with the wind, the waves, the flood tide and meeting up with the L 12's once again. Sure made for a memorable day, even if I missed three breaches. We saw a total of 8 whales on my first Zodiac trip at noon. Initially we found five off by themselves including three big boys and two females at Constance Bank, then later encountered Mega L 41, and his sisters L 77 and L 94, closer to shore. The 3.30pm Ocean Magic encountered Mega, L 41 and Alexis L 12, heading out west, past Metchosin, Vancouver Island between 4-5pm. Other whales were seen in the distance but too far to ID.The wind and the waves were even more boisterous at this point, so looking for whales was a challenge. Still, we had sunshine and no rain despite the threat from above.
