Today on the 3:30 Ocean Magic trip we caught up with 4 transients (meat eating orcas) - T30a and others (will confirm) and were traveling west in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. They zig zagged from 2 miles west from Crescent Bay and 2 miles offshore and would take long dives. After watching the group for about 30 minutes, we followed up with two humpbacks feeding about 3 miles offshore from Beecher Bay. They were about 1 mile apart from each other (the two humpbacks). We watched one animal fluke a few times before heading over to Race Rocks ecological reserve. There we found a large number of Stellar and California sealions hauled out on the rocks. Guests had a lovely view of the lighthouse as well as a variety of marine birds. Today was a perfect warm and sunny summer day!
