Saturdays Ocean Magic adventure was full of magic. The weather cleared just before noon, leaving the afternoon full of sunshine as Capt. Anna took the Ocean Magic out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. She had us headed East towards a group of Transient Orca that had been spotted. We made our way past Trial Island and out into Haro Strait. Just south of Darcy Island we caught up with the Apex Predator of the oceans, the Transient Orca. Mika, Derek and Darcy gave great insight into the behaviours and habit of these mighty animals. We watched the two large Orca identified as T123's and calf as they worked the waters. So majestic as they would surface in the sunshine, just wonderful to see. Our tour then took us North where Anna spotted two Bald Eagles perched on top of weather vanes on a marker. These warriors of the air were on the lookout for food as they held tight in the gusty winds. We then went past Darcy Island and back to Trial Island were we spotted at Stellar Sea Lion. Just a magical day with Prince of Whales!Photos by Clint "Orcawizard"
