Mark Malleson of Prince of Whales called to report Transient orca T103 off E. Sooke Park, S. Vancouver Island at 12:30 pm, heading east. It happened to be the exact same place & date he had observed T103 alone last year!

I was on the Ocean Magic 12.15 pm sailing today and this lone Transient was seen at Beecher Bay, Metchosin, Vancouver Island. It was identified by Mark Mallerson,POW, as T 103. Mark was already out in a Zodiac when we arrived. A good looking male who was fairly illusive, and taking long dives. A good day to be out again in the sunshine, even with the wind and choppy seas.
