Encounter Summary:

On our way home from Port Renfrew we got word of Killer Whales inbound off of Jordan River. We only stayed long enough to get proof of presence photos of each individual of the T060's. They were steadily tracking east bound and there were three commercial Whale Watching vessels out of Victoria with them.
