Pure Magic is a word to describe the encounter with five Humpback Whales, Sunday 11th of October. It was a warm, sunny afternoon as the 12.15pm Ocean Magic 2 headed out of the harbour and travelled south to Constance Bank. It was here that two whales were frolicking with boisterous sea lions. Three others were seen off in the distance. A great deal of splashing was evident with behaviours of tail and pectoral flipper slaps on the surface of the smooth water. These two species appeared to be enjoying each others company. The curiosity of these Humpbacks gave all of our guests on board, an incredible view of their size as the whales floated around and under the boat. The water was so clear that one could see the entire whale just below the surface. It was awesome. Two '' gentle -giants '' just lazily meandering around. Our trip did include sightings of Dall's Porpoise, Harbour seals, Steller and California Sea Lions at Race Rocks Lighthouse. October continues to provide exciting wildlife adventures with ' Prince of Whales'.Marie "Orca-Magic", Clint "Orcawizard"
