We have another perfect day for traveling, and the sun is just coming up as we head out for Tuwartz Inlet, at the southern tip of Pitt Island.

As we got to Otter Channel, Al yelled, “Whales!” I grabbed my camera and headed to the foredeck to see if I could get some shots.

There seemed to be four whales. They were really carrying on, breaching and rolling. I’ve learned that it’s almost impossible to get still shots, so I shot video. I did get this teaser still shot though. The video won’t be ready for YouTube until we get home.

We got to Tuwartz about 2 hours before high water slack, so we anchored outside the lagoon and had dinner. As soon as the water was slack in the narrows, we moved into the lagoon to anchor for the night. I can’t wait to go paddling in the morning. There are lots of places here to poke around.
