It was an action packed trip on the 10 am Zodiac. With no fish eating, southern resident Orca around the mammal seeking Transients, the T30's, were taking advantage of the good weather in these waters. The four whales were found once again south of the harbour and were seen actively pursuing a Steller Sea Lion. With much slicing through the water, the whales created walls of spray. Many tail slaps, porpoising, and nose diving was observed. The hapless prey was soon dispatched and the Transients moved off toward the west. Our experienced and knowledgeable skipper, Mark, 'Mallard ' headed toward Race Rocks to view the Steller and California Sea Lions that lounge on the rocks. It was another exciting day on the water.Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
