6/2/17 – Sailing the extra nautical mile we met Transient Orcas, T65A’s, within sight of Vancouver. As we approached two humpback whales breached about a mile ahead of the orcas. Returned by way of East Point and found 2 Peregrine Falcons. Evening light by Flattop began painting the picture of sunset.
