September 4th 2024 - 4pm Cowichan Bay Departure - Captain Simon

An epic evening encounter with the T002C's hunting Harbour Seals off Galiano Island. September evenings are the best!! We were the only boat with the T002C's as they meandered down the westside of Galiano Island picking off pinnipeds as they went. All images taken with a telephoto lens and cropped for detail.

Biggs Killer Whale gathering and vocalizing

Biggs Killer Whale vocal time! We were treated to a large gathering of these whales a few nights ago, and were blown away by what we heard on the hydrophone. These stealth hunters are typically fairly quiet, and its hard to catch vocals on our hydrophone because of this. In this case, there was a lot of talking happening between the whales.

Bigg's Killer Whale vocals!
