We have just heard from our vessel that they have encountered members of L Pod (the L12's) near Albert Head, B.C. This is the first confirmed sighting of members of L Pod in the waters off Victoria this season and what a wonderful surprise!

At a little before 3:00 this afternoon, the L 12s showed up a little to the east of Race Rock. Wow. Big surprise. We had to head home.
Late in the evening, we left L89 and L22 way out west of Victoria this evening at 6:30. We were lucky enough to see these breaches (see photo above).
