July 10, 2024 – An epic sunset sail with Biggs/Transient orcas T109A2’s. Earlier we watched as they spent the day socialising and having fun with countless breaches. This evening they came inside the narrow channel behind Turn Island State Park to hunt for dinner. There was a large group of kids on shore getting an exciting view of the orcas. Pretty spectacular… backlit blows, golden evening light and orcas in the sunset.
