Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure Sept 27 3:30pm

The 3.30pm Sunday Sept 27th Adventure trip on the Ocean Magic 2 vessel, took us over to the west side of San Juan Island once again to meet up with L Pod members that were traveling south past Lime Kilm Park. It was a sunny afternoon with calm water all around. We found two large males and a mother, L 86 with her little calf, L 112. Another member of L pod that were seen , was L 105, 'Fluke ', a five year old. The research team from the University of Washington, were out in their boat this afternoon with their dog 'Tucker 'doing his job of sniffing for whale scat floating on the water. What a charmer he is and what a great job he does. All for the benefit of these endangered Southern Resident fish eating Orca. Our Naturalists on board , Derek, Scott and Marnie shared their knowledge of marine life in these waters with our guests. It was a magical afternoon trip once again with 'Prince of Whales'.
