Some oceanic mammals delayed a BC Ferry from docking at Fulford Harbour.
A pod of orcas was between a ferry coming from Victoria and the berth in the harbour on Salt Spring Island, according to a service notice from BC Ferries Saturday afternoon.
BC Ferries says the orcas caused one round trip sailing to be missed to keep the orcas safe.
