Ocean Magic Adventure Mar 6

It was one of those amazing days on the west coast where the POW vessel, the Ocean Magic left the Victoria Harbour under blue skies and plenty of sunshine. Mt. Baker on the eastern horizon, looked spectacular. Our afternoon adventure, with Capt Gord and crew members Mika, Shaun and Derek on board, ensured our passengers a fun filled afternoon. Heading south and west we encountered two to three Harbour Porpoise that were feeding in the tide line. A visit to Church Rock revealed a bald eagle and another flying over an eagle's nest on the shoreline. At Race Rocks we were provided with great glimpses of two loafing Elephant Seals, many lounging Harbour Seals and a rock loaded with lazy Steller Sea Lions. Our knowledgeable crew shared their passion for all things marine with the enthusiastic passengers. It was another wonderful trip on these incredibly rich, west coast waters.
