The Ocean Magic 12.15pm trip on Sunday Oct 26th, headed out of the harbour and turned east past the breakwater. With Captain Tyler, Sean and Mika, our expert Naturalists on board, we were in for a real treat this sunny, Autumn day. Although there was a brisk wind and chop on the water, our international visitors had a beautiful experience encountering whales. We headed across Haro Strait and found K pod, one of our resident, fish eating Orca pods, swimming close in shore off San Juan Island. They were heading north for much of the time and then turned south. They appeared to be foraging at times. Throughout the trip our experienced crew shared a wealth of knowledge with our visitors. Their account of marine life in these nutrient rich waters enhanced what was to be, a most delightful trip. Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
