We went out this morning on the Prince of Whales Zodiac. Unfortunately the Orca Pods were too far out for us to get to them. We did however come across a humpbacked whale. It was probably a young one and gave us quite a chase and it surfaced very briefly and then disappeared only to surface way away from where it had been previously.
Rita proved to be a natural at whale spotting and she is hoping to find a job on Japanese whaler. We never got really close but I got a few good photographs, although one was a fluke. The boat captain got out his fishing net and brought up some krill that were swarming all around our boat and why the humpback was there.
We also saw a bald eagle, seals and an elephant seal. All in all it was a very good trip out.
Tomorrow we are catching the ferry back to Vancouver to pick up the car.
