Our International travellers are still heading to the west coast of BC, in search of adventure. We had visitors from as far away as Australia as well as local residents on the 12 noon Zodiac trip, Sunday November 16
th. With skipper Sean, '
Saltchuck ' at the controls we headed east due to the thickening fog bank out west. It was an excellent choice as we found good number of cormorants,
Pellagic, and Brandt's as well as
Steller Sea Lions lounging at Whale Rock, San Juan Island. Several of these huge mammals were in the water and curious about the Zodiac. Our skipper gave us an in depth account of the animals found in these waters. A number of Dall's Porpoise, and a Minke whale were sighted near Hannah Heights with another Minke reported at Beaufort Shoals,
Haro Strait. One remained illusive but the other gave us good looks while it dove repeatedly for food. This couldn't have been a better day for exploring the wildlife, and the scenic beauty of this area. Conditions were perfect. The sea was calm with no apparent wind. We were even graced with a little sunshine to brighten this November day. Our visitors were all smiles as we headed back to Victoria. Photo's by Marie "
