Friday, September 19th was another exciting day for spotting the variety of marine wildlife in these waters. With our experienced Captains Brad and Shamus in the wheel-house for the two afternoon trips, our passengers on board the Ocean Magic were treated to great looks at three Brown Pelicans, Harbour Seals, Steller and California Sea Lions, all at Race Rocks. On our way to Hein Bank we encountered up to 50+ Harbour Porpoises in the flat calm sea. It was at Hein Bank that we caught up with the Transients, the T30's. One of the females was fascinated by the OM and swam up close to take a good look at us. A most memorable experience as she circled and dove beneath the hull, almost as if on cue to say farwell to long time Captain Brad "Dyner"Armstrong on his last trip with Prince of Whales. We were all smiles as we disembarked at the dock. An amazing afternoon of west coast wildlife.Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic" and Clint "Orcawizard"
