It was a magical afternoon out on the water today. Our experienced Capt. Shamus, took the 12.15pm Ocean Magic to where the 'Superpod ' was reported, near Sheringham Lighthouse. All things came together, the sunny weather, the calm seas as well as the fabulous encounter with the whales. K and J pod Orca were having a ' whale of a time' together. Their enthusiastic greeting with one another was infectious. The passengers on board were truly excited. Our return trip was interesting too for we suddenly came across two big bull Transients whales. One was soon identified as T 14 , Pender , a lone bull who is often seen in these waters throughout the year. It looked like he might have been keeping company with T 31, whose dorasl fin was very tall and came to a very sharp point. A quick stop at Race Rocks afforded looks at the ''Men's Club '', the all male Sea Lion colony lolling around and flexing their muscles. An awesome trip once again.
