The late afternoon trip on the 'Ocean Magic' at 3.30pm Saturday, brought spectacular views of one of our Resident Orca pods, J Pod. They were seen grouping up and heading off shore, San Juan Island. The wind had increased as had the waves. Although the sun was out everything was in motion. That didn't deter our guests or the whales. Our experienced crew shared their passion for Orca with those on board. The Orca were bucking a strong flood tide and appeared to enjoy cresting the waves as they headed west, past the Ocean Magic. The two little calves, J 44 and J 45 were seen close to their mothers. Breaching and spyhops behaviours were seen off in the distance. It was a thrilling ride back to the harbour as our Capt. Shaun and crew, were able to rescue two 'downed' Kite-surfers' from the very cold water of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It was an exciting three hour Wildlife Adventure.Marie "Orca-Magic"
