The two Zodiac trips, the 10 am and the 2pm were very successful in locating Transient Orca today. It was a gorgeous Autumn day with lots of sunshine and calm seas. With Skipper Mark at the helm we headed south east and encountered T 20 and T21 foraging off Oak Bay Flats. They were very illusive and zig-zagged all over. They were relocated in the afternoon heading out west. Our 2 pm trip took us out west a little way where we met up with the T46's and T49's near William Head. We had good looks at the two females with their four young ones in tow. Even further west we encountered the T2's but they were very illusive with 4-5 minute dives. A visit to Race Rocks gave us very good looks at Steller and California Sea Lions as well as Harbour Seals. There were many different gulls on the water today, indicating the abundance of food within these waters. Another GREAT day on the water viewing BC's incredible wildlife.Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
