It certainly was.

We were in the Strait of Georgia off Vancouver itself so slightly further north than you were.

Fantastic pic, sounds like an experience of a lifetime

It was and it will be a few years before I could afford to go back.

Awesome pic. I'm very fortunate that my parents have a house on Vancouver Island so I get to do this often. Not managed a shot as good as this yet tho!

Just out of interest, which whale watching companies did those of you that have been use?

I used Vancouver Whale Watch (http://www.vancouverwhalewatch.com/index.html) from Steveston Village.
