The sun keeps shining and the Wildlife Adventures out on the west coast are heating up. Today was no exception with a picture perfect afternoon. Our skipper Shaun, ' Saltchuck' headed the 3pm Zodiac toward the east and then north up Haro Strait to find the 8 Transient Orca that had been seen earlier. Along the way our many international guests were able to take in the incredible views of the Olympic Mountains of Washington Sate, Mt Baker and the picturesque coast line of Vancouver Island. We soon encountered three of the Orca, two females and a very young calf. They were showing 'logging ' behaviour, where they appeared to be resting and moving through the water slowly. Our skipper shared his knowledge of marine mammals and of the 'Orcas' incredible hunting skills. Our return trip took us through the Chain Islands to see Harbour Seals and a Bald Eagle on the rocks.A trip in one of Victoria's 'Prince of Whales' yellow Zodiacs, is a ' BLAST '.Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
