On todays Ocean Magic 3:30pm trip we found ourselves observing Kpod accompanied by L87 I believe... Hmmm perhaps he's interested in someone? The group was spread out foraging. Passengers were introduced to Cappuccino K21 (a large male) in hunting behavior, his directions were constantly in shift, clearly in search of Salmon. Most of the animals were located closer to San Juan Island, we remained a few miles offshore observing him and a mother and calf pair (will ID and fill in the animal name here)

On route back to Victoria, we stopped at the Chain Islands in Oak Bay to view the sea birds (mainly gulls and cormorants) as well as the mother and pup harbour seals laying out on the rocks. Also managed to get a photo of our awesome all woman crew today; Arleigh, Marnie, Mika, and Captain Anna. It's always a great experience out with them.
