Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure Sept 27 12:15pm

Our experienced Capt. Shaun took the Ocean Magic 2 vessel out past the breakwater and south a couple of kms off Albert Head to encounter 2 , then four Humpback Whales that were busy foraging and doing acrobatic manoeuvres. It was awesome to watch these huge whales catapult out of the water, hurling 40 plus tons of animal out of the water and returning with a mighty splash. Our guests on board were anxious to see 'Orca' so our Capt and crew headed the Ocean Magic over toward Eagle Point, San Juan Island where some members of L pod were seen . L 72, 'Racer ' was clearly identified. A member of K Pod ,K 21 ,'Cappuccino ' was identified as he swam amid several females of L Pod. He then swam off into the distance to be framed by Mt.Baker in the background. It was a great encounter once again, with the fantastic marine life found here in these productive waters.
