August 23, 2019 – It was a special birthday sail and the whales showed up! It was great seeing the T46B1’s with little white orca T46B1B aka ‘Tl’uk’.
After that we saw the rest of the T46B’s socializing and hunting south of Cattle Point Lighthouse. The sunset happened at the nick of time and it was beautiful.
