The 12.15pm Ocean Magic left the harbour and headed south into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. There were many international guests on board so many eyes were searching for the illusive ORCA. Our expert and knowledgeable crew, Anna, Shaun, and Derek shared their passion for marine mammals with the passengers. Unfortunately no whales were seen on this trip but there was plenty of other wildlife to be viewed along the rugged Vancouver Island coast. Bald Eagles at their nests, Harbour Seals lounging on rocks, Harbour Porpoises that were very shy, Steller Sea Lions and Cormorants at Race Rocks Lighthouse, Ecological Reserve. We saw several gulls hovering over ' bait-balls ', fish balls. The sun came out and brightened the impressive scenery to be found along the west coast. Another great trip with Prince of Whales.Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
