Ocean Magic Adventure Noon Sept 7

The noon trip on the Ocean Magic promised to be an adventure in the bright sunshine. Our Captain, Gord, took us out into the Strait to find several small families of Transient Killer Whales, the marine mammal eating Orca. We came across two groups hunting seal and porpoises. Their explosive activity was fascinating to watch. With calm, blue water around, it was easy to spot all the marine wildlife. Our trip gaves us good looks at Harbour Seals, California and Steller Sea Lions, Elephant Seal, Dall's Porpoise, and even a very young Transient Killer Whale. September is a great month to go WHALE WATCHING.' Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
