Meeting T75Bs and T77s in Rosario Strait

June 21, 2017 – What an adventure. So many photos – so many favorites. Sailing north in Rosario Strait with transient orca families, T75B’s and T77’s (presumably sisters). T77’s first son, T77A, dispersed. We recently saw him on May 30th. Interesting to see that they aren’t too far distant from one another. We admired the gorgeous scenery and geology of Clark, Puffin, Matia, Sucia and Orcas Islands after we left the orcas and turned on the barbecues plotting a course back home.
