The 3.30pm, 'Ocean Magic' with Capt. Shaun in the wheel-house took us out of the Victoria Harbour and headed east toward Hein Bank. It was picture perfect weather with calm seas and gorgeous scenery either side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Mt Baker could be seen in all its magnificence. Even Mt Rainier was observed on the horizon. Our destination was to locate two or more Minke Whales that had been reported earlier. Along the way we had glimpses of Harbour Seals, Gulls, and Seabirds, including Rhinoceros Auklets, and Common Murres. Our knowledgeable staff, Mika and Rhonda shared their passion for all marine life found in these waters. Sightings of two Minke Whales foraging off Hein Bank made this wildlife adventure all the more 'Magical' .Our international guests had a great time.Marie "Orca-Magic"
