On the 3:30 Ocean Magic trip today we traveled almost to the Port Angeles shoreline where two humpback whales were traveling. They gave us a lovely look at their flukes and pectoral flippers as well. A few hard tail slaps came out of now where and was thrilling for people on board. It was quite the Juan de Fuca strait adventure traveling over to the Oak Bay Chain Islands were several seals were hauled out. In one of the photos I noticed a new baby seal just behind the mother. It is very small and silver. We also saw a variety of sea birds including Brants Cormorants! Yay the sun was out and it was warm, finally summer has returned!
