Wildlife: While out on the water on the Pedder Explorer near Rosedale Rock heard a humpback whale tail slap at least 50 times in a row. Use the descriptor ‘heard’ as fog was restricting visibility.

Two branded sea lions at the jetty, 94V and V56.

Facilities: With fog prevalence and residence being used by classes generator is running more, requiring fueling on a more regular basis. Fall is here.

Visitors: Two classes from LBPC, one in the morning and one in the afternoon with Biology teacher Laura V. and assistant Bella M.

Visit from 10 members ( 2 vessels) of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) Station 37 in Sooke. Race Rocks is within their response area. It was their first time visiting Race Rocks. They docked after dark, with a running ebb tide. Very impressive skill set.
