Wildcat Whale Watching Adventure - Saturday afternoon

Our boat. Top speed around 50 kph. Catamaran hull.
Blue Bridge and planes in foreground.
Just one of many private 'yachts' in the Inner Harbour.
Inner harbour - Parliament Bldgs.
The Empress Hotel
Loads of house boats.
The Coho pulling in from Port Angeles WA
Cool condo building
Nice places if you can afford them
This place on the tip of Ten Mile Point was bequeathed to the University of Victoria
It was pretty windy and cold at times, but Trista and I had a blast
At least I smiled for the camera!
Hitting waves gave good spray
OK, so you take a picture of a Killer Whale 100 meters away with a 3.2 megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom. We did see about four whales breach. Very cool.
On our way back, calm waters. It took about 1 hour 20 minutes to get to the whales.
Met a family from Barrie Ontario on board the boat.
