Our wildlife adventure at 1pm with Prince of Whales, took us out west this afternoon. The yellow Zodiac with our experienced Skipper, Mark 'Mallard' at the controls, headed past the breakwater and out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Here we would search for those illusive mammals, the Orca. The abundant wildlife, Bald Eagles, sea birds, Harbour Seals, Steller Sea Lions and Blacktail Deer were seen as we toured the many bays of the rugged coast line of Vancouver Island. Just as we began our return trip toward Victoria, a call came in that 6 Transient Orca had been seen, so our guests from England, Ontario, and parts of the USA, were able to observe these magical creatures heading east . A large bull, male Orca, T10B was identified with other members of his family. Although the skies were grey, the sea conditions were exceptional. It was another great, wildlife adventure here on the west coast.Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
