Whale watching

Checklist from this morning:
- patch that helps against seasickness
- sunscreen
- camera
- lunch pack

Although I really hate water and I get sick at see it was really worth it!

This morning we had to be on Granville Island to take the pod pilot for our whale watching trip.

Wild Whales Vancouver offered us a protective suit (which we really needed) and the guided us to our boat “the pod pilot”. We left Granville Island, direction Vancouver Island. After a bumpy ride we circled around the different islands near Vancouver Island. We didn’t see any whale for a while until suddenly our captain received a call from one of the other whale watching boats. A killer whale was spotted near Pender Island. The pod pilot rushed to the spotting place and suddenly out of nothing a fin of an orca came to the surface.

Mister Pender aka T14 decided to join us. Pender is a transient whale (whales also known as mammal hunters who travel between California and Alaska).

Besides the whales we also saw:
- Harbour Porpoises
- Harbour Seals
- Huge Jelly fish
- Gray Pelican

I can advice everyone, who has the possibility to do a whale watching tour, to really do it.
Not only the wildlife was amazing but also the scenery and the adventurous boat trip.

Check out some of my pictures (Kris will also add some pictures as soon as possible).
