Ocean Magic Adventure Oct 10

With Capt. Kurt at the helm the Ocean Magic sailed into sunshine and calm waters off Victoria. Our heading was south west, to an area off Race Rocks. Here we took in the sights and sounds of three Humpback Whales. These gentle giants would be on the surface for 5-6 breaths, then down for 4-5 minutes. As they would make their deep dive, their tails would glisten in the sunshine. After a wonderful pass by the Humpbakcs, we headed to Race Rocks Ecologial Reserve. Here we saw Steller Sea Lions, California Sea Lions and pleanty of birds. Our adventure continued into Beecher Bay where we saw a magnificent Bald Eagle. It was sitting all alone on a little island watching its territory. Such a great day on the water!
