The excitement continues with Prince of Whales Wildlife adventures. Now that Spring has arrived the days are longer, warmer and sunnier. Our 3pm Zodiac with guests on board from Italy, Spain, Denmark, Germany, England, Seattle and Calgary, headed off into brilliant weather. Skipper James 'Radar' took us south east into the Strait of Juan de Fuca to catch up with the 5 Transient Orca, the T49's, that had been sighted on an earlier trip. Our time with these illusive mammals was exceptional. They showed us behaviours that included hunting, spy-hopping, tail lobbing, deep diving, and zig-zagging. We concluded our trip with a visit to Race Rocks to view Elephant and Harbour Seals as well as Steller Sea Lions. Our return trip took us close to the rocky but very scenic shoreline of Vancouver Island where we saw the historic and oldest lighthouse of BC, 'Fisgard Lighthouse' at Esquimalt Harbour. It was built in November,1860. Once again it was another wonderful trip out on the waters of the west coast .Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
