Captain’s log - Oct 22nd 2025 A classic fall day on the Salish Sea

Autumn on the Salish Sea is always full of surprises, and the weather this day was no exception! We started the trip with cloudy skies and a strong breeze. We travelled north where we heard reports of a pod of Bigg’s killer whales near the University of British Columbia, and we were not disappointed!

Rare Encounters with the Northern Resident Killer Whales

This September, our guests and crew experienced something truly remarkable: several encounters with Northern Resident Killer Whales in the Salish Sea. These moments were unforgettable for everyone.

Bigg’s Killer Whales: Risks, Realities & How You Can Help

Bigg’s killer whales, also known as transient orcas, are among the most awe-inspiring animals in the Salish Sea. Unlike the fish-eating Southern Residents, Bigg’s specialize in hunting marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and porpoises. They are powerful, intelligent, and highly social, often traveling in family groups that showcase their tight bonds and cooperative hunting strategies. But even these top predators face significant risks in our shared waters—risks that are human-caused.
