Ocean Magic Sept 21

Ocean Magic's Sunday noon trip took us west to Race Rocks, here we took in Transient Orca. The whales identified as the T10s, were swimming into the strong west coast wind as they worked north along Vancouver Island's rugged coastline. We followed these Killer Whales and enjoyed their company on a cool but sunny west coast day. We had a tour of Race Rocks Ecological reserve and spotted Harbor Seals, Steller Sealions, California Sealions and many different species of birds. Captain Gord had our 3:30 Ocean Magic adventure up the inside of Vancouver Island to Pender Island. Here we caught up with another group of Transient Orcas. These whales identified as the T2s, were working the middle of a channel, searching for food. The scenery was inspiring with the sun playing peek a boo in the clouds.
