:: postcards :: Sailing - Dolphins & Orcas

One of the things I really wanted to see on this trip was orcas. I've been living here for about ten years, have done numerous whale watching trips, taken the ferry to Vancouver Island countless times - and have never seen an orca. 

We saw lots of dolphins, swimming in large groups, around our boat, jumping in the air. Some were playful, but mostly they were hunting following a school of fish.

We sailed all the way up to Robson Bite, a known orca spot. And... (drum roll) I saw orcas.

What beautiful animals...
