Orcas - Photo Youtube Gary Cullen

This really has been the season of the whale around the Salish Sea and Pacific Northwest! From the baby boom, to many exciting sightings this year, Westcoasters — and our visitors — love sharing the waters with these magnificent creatures.

A show of hands, how many times have you been on the BC Ferries trip to Tsawwassen from Swartz Bay?

Right…um….tough to count, right? #umpteen

Now another show of hands, how many times have you seen Orcas when you’re sitting on deck enjoying the view of Active Pass?

Ok, just once…but they were pretty far away.

Now check out this show from Galiano Island with a BC Ferry taking in the scene on Aug 9th:
