Zodiac Adventure Noon May 29


Our Intrepid Skipper James "Radar" took the 12 noon Zodiac into sunny skies and choppy seas. We spotted two Eagles feeding on the rocks as we left the harbor. These large birds of prey were enjoying a snack of fish as we past by. We then got up to speed and soon we caught up with a Transient Orca. T40 "Captain Hook" a mature male Killer Whale, He was working his way east off William Head. As we followed along we watched as he made a kill. A sudden lunge across the surface and then some milling around as he enjoyed his lunch. Favorite foods of the Transient Killer Whale are Harbor Seals and Sea Lions. We then carried on our way to Race Rocks Ecological Reserve where we took in the sights of Sea Lions, Harbor Seals, Eagles, and a variety of Gulls. A spectacular afternoon on the water with Prince of Whales!
