Out into the sunshine and calm waters sailed the the 3.30pm Ocean Magic vessel on Sunday afternoon, Sept 20th. With our great crew, Capt. Shaun, Scott, and Aleigh, our on board naturalists, this wildlife adventure was sure to please everyone. We headed across Haro Strait toward San Juan Island were we found several members of the Southern Resident pods foraging alone. They were well spread out. We did identify J 1 'Ruffles' as well as K 14 'Lea' and L 7', 'Canuck'. We watched as they travelled slowly north past Lime Kilm Park. We had reports of three Humpback Whales back at Constance Bank so headed over to watch these three 'gentle-giants' being mobbed by two sea lions beneath the surface. It caused a young Humpback Whale to put on a show of fluke-tail lobs and pectoral flipper waves. It was amazing to watch all this activity. Eventually the sea lions departed and these three Humpback whales carried on their way. Lion's mane Jellyfish and a few Dall's Porpoise added to our experience. This was a most exciting and memorable adventure once again with Prince of Whales.Marie, Orca-Magic
