T87

We left Transient orca T87 just off of Halibut Is., N. Haro St. at 4:45 heading toward Mandarte Is. going NW. I guess there were other Ts being heard on the hydrophones as we came in, but he was the only one that we were able to spot. We had found him a half an hour earlier just north of Kelp Reef. It was a big thrill for the family that was out with me. The daughter of the family wants to be a marine biologist, and was especially excited.
