Ocean Magic Adventure Sept 18 12:15pm

Although the clouds had moved into the Victoria area, today was still to be an awesome day to view whales. With Southern resident whales over at San Juan and Transients, the T10s close to Victoria, the passengers on board were to get the thrill of a life time. The 12.15pm Ocean Magic, with Captain Anna in the wheelhouse, crossed Haro Strait to find many members of L pod foraging off Eagle Point. There was much ''sharking '' and '' porpoising '' by the orca as they foraged. Mega, L 41, gave us a big surprise by surfacing close to the stern. Our return trip caught up with the Transients, a family of three, while they moved through the waters below the bluffs. September remains one of the best months to view whales.
