kayaking trip bc -- Mom's the word



OK, back to our adopted whale from www.killerwhale.org. Remember, before the big reveal of who exactly our adoptee is, we're going to be giving a few clues.


When you go on one of our kayak trips in Johnstone Strait and encounter the beautiful orcas, you'll have to think of Mom. Because resident killer whale pods are family groups structured around mothers. Yup, mom's are household leaders in the orca world. Sons, daughters (and her daughters' kids) stay with mom throughout their lives. No moving out and making it on your own in this tough underwater world.

Our own adoptee is the first calf of... Cascade. Our adoptee also has 3 aunts and a couple of female cousins.
