Orcas T123's & T46B1's in Rosario with rain and rainbows

June 15, 2020 – We had been listening to reports of orcas traveling around the topside of Orcas Island down Rosario Strait. We couldn’t resist a chance to get a look at the T46B1’s because we’re intrigued by the rare white orca calf T46B1B aka Tl’uk. They were traveling with another family known as the T123’s. Despite the rain we had an amazing encounter. Funnily enough we think a couple of the orca calves were curious about our umbrella because they kept spy hopping repeatedly. The orcas stopped abeam of Watmough Head for a bite to eat followed by a couple hours of fun and games. Eventually the sun poked out and we were treated to a beautiful rainbow. After the sun was down we headed north for home and the orcas turned north, too.
