Although the winter weather for the 1pm trips today wasn't exactly warm and sunny, there were plenty of international visitors, from Japan and England seeking adventure. 'Prince of Whales ' provided the warm suits, hats and gloves and the crew provided the sights, the sounds and the education. The wildlife to be found along this rocky coast and in these nutrient rich waters, is abundant. Two Prince of Whales Zodiac Skippers, Mark, 'Mallard' and James 'Radar' headed their guests out of the Victoria Harbour and turned east and then north up Haro Strait. Here we searched for those illusive Orca. None were to be found today, but glimpses of Harbour and Dall's Porpoise, Steller Sea Lions, Harbour Seals and many Bald Eagles in various stages of plumage on Spieden Island could be seen. Also there, Sika Deer and Mouflon Sheep were grazing. A visit to Henry Island gave us great views of a Peregrine Falcon at its Eyrie. Other bird life could be seen at the Chain Islets. Our guests were thrilled with their first west coast adventure with Prince of Whales. Photo's By Marie "Orca-Magic"
