Humpbacks & pinnipeds

(Bull Kelp - NOTE: kelp was already dead)
(Naturalist Jenn)
Today on the 3:30 Ocean Magic voyage, we headed approximately 6 miles south east of Victoria where two humpback whales, a probable mother and calf were milling. Nice tail flukes. The animals were apart by about a mile. Following the sighting we headed to Race Rocks ecological reserve where we found an abundance of Stellar and California Sealions and Elephant seals and harbour seals. One Elephant seal was busy on its way up towards the lighthouse. On our way home, passengers were treated to a hands on information session about bull kelp. Today was sunny and beautiful, a perfect summer day.
