With Capt. Shaun in the wheel house of the 12.15pm Ocean Magic Saturday afternoon, we headed east and crossed the smooth waters of Haro Strait till we met up with the Southern Resident Orca, J pod, in US waters. They were seen rounding the south east point of Lopez Island. It was sunshine all the way. The whales were travelling in small family groups close to shore. We observed several active behaviours that included spyhops, breaches, and tail slaps. Our three experienced crew members shared a wealth of knowledge with our enthusiastic guests from all parts of the globe including London England. A Minke whale had been sighted by earlier boats in the area, however it never surfaced during our trip. The Ocean Magic returned to the harbour with very happy and satisfied guests. It was another great trip watching the Magical Orca as they headed north.Marie "Orca-Magic"
