The Ocean Magic left the harbour at 12.15pm, with Capt. Chris in the wheelhouse. Many local, and international visitors were on board along with two 'Á' TV crew members. Conditions were brilliant. Abundant sunshine and relatively smooth water were the order of the day. The scenery was spectacular as we headed out across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. We were on a mission to find those illusive Orca. They were not to be seen on this trip but instead we had great views of a foraging Gray whale at Crescent Bay on the Washington State side of the Strait. Our expert crew, Anna , Mika and Derek shared a wealth of knowledge with our guests about the marine life found in these waters. A visit to Race Rocks allowed for views of Steller Sea Lions in the water as well as on the rocks. Harbour seals, 8 Elephant Seals and a Bald Eagle were also observed. This was another exciting wildlife adventure with Prince of Whales.Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
