. Our experienced Capt. Shaun and crew members Arleigh, Derek and Rhonda headed the 3.30pm 'Ocean Magic 2' , this Saturday afternoon, out of the harbour. We traveled west along the picturesque Vancouver Island coast. It was another sunny afternoon with some strong wind and tidal current. Some of the Southern Resident Orca, the fish eating 'killer whales' , had been reported heading further out west so we were lucky to encounter them at Beacher Bay. They were on a mission and moving fast through the choppy water. Their 'blows ' would fill the air as they passed by. It was great to see so many of L Pod traveling together. L 72 'Racer' and L 83 ' Moonlight ', two females with their young were easily recognised. Their distinctive open 'saddle patches ' the area of white behind the dorsal fin, which is unique to each individual Orca could be seen. We watched them travel for a while and then returned to Victoria via Race Rocks. It was here that California and Steller sea lions could be heard barking and roaring as they jockeyed for position on rocks. What a great wild life adventure our guests experienced once again.Clint "Orcawizard, Marie "Orca-Magic"
