Credit © 🎬 ✔️ @adam_ernster onboard ✔️ @condorexpresssb To round out the year, who could forget our once in a lifetime killer whale encounter!? We had pod members from 3 different CA transient matrilines meet up and socialize around our boat. For the duration of our trip these whales came back to our vessel multiple times to checkout our passengers on the bow. We encountered killer whales 3 times in 2019 so we hope the upward trend keeps up for 2020! — Once again thank you to you all for following along this year, and we look forward to having you out on many great adventures in 2020. Happy New Years!

Members of the CA216, CA138, and CA51 orca pods gave our crew and passengers yet another experience of a lifetime. We never know what we’re gonna see while we depart the docks in the morning. That’s the beauty of the Santa Barbara channel!!

Credit © 📷 🖋 @adam_ernster Over the past year I have been so extremely #oceanblessed by the amount of killer whales sightings I’ve encountered. Even with well over 100 different individuals now under my belt, I can confidently say this was the most unbelievable experience I’ve been apart of — Members from THREE different CA transient killer whale matrilines mugged us for well over an hour today. Parts of the CA216, and CA138, as well as the infamous CA51’s played, socialized, mated, and breached around our vessel today. Killer whales are so rare in California, this is only the third time I’ve seen them in these waters all year! —This wouldn’t be possible without the best crew in the world aboard the @condorexpresssb !! I am just beyond thankful for the encounters and people our wondrous oceans have given me. I can’t wait to see what we come across next in the open blue... @captcolton805 @captainbeezer Shot on @lumix || #G9 Aboard @condorexpresssb . . . . . . #whalewatch #whalewatching #orcas #orca #orcas #orcinusorca #killerwhale #artofvisuals #travel #orcinusorca #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographeroftheyear #earth #saveourorcas #biggsarethebalance #santabarbara #seesb #visitsantabarbara #california #cali #CA51 #CA216 #CA138 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3RlvSSgcmT/?igshid=etrk6ml47c4k

If you want to learn more about the Southern resident killer whales from a scientific, socio-political, and more personal basis please check out my good friend @orcawirth’s new podcast @breachingextinction — The in’s and outs of the struggles for the SRKW’s are vastly complex and mostly unheard of. The 3 big E’s of environmental science : environment, economy, and ethics, all play a role in our mission to save these incredible animals. Please listen to her amazing work as she interviews scientists, whale watchers, and people of all sorts of different backgrounds on our collective stories to show just how much we care about these animals — You can find her podcast on all audio platforms! In the mean time enjoy this photo of J27 “BlackBerry,” doing what he do.
