Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure April 17


With our intrepid skipper Capt. Tyler "Sideshow" the Ocean Magic slipped from the dock and sailed out of Victoria's picturesque inner harbour into the Strait of Juan De Fuca. Here Capt Tyler took us South to a reported sighting of Transient Killer Whales. Once on scene we took in the sights of two Orca. One large male who was identified as T103 and one female Orca who was unidentified. These apex predators showed off their hunting skills as the female broke way from the male and swan fast and furiously away, only to return. The male went deep and surfaced near the female and the two worked in turn on what they had caught under the water. It was awesome to watch these apex predators do their thing. Our First Mate Derek "D Rock" gave us all the play by play and answered all our questions. We then took a tour of race rocks and took in the sights of harbour seals and elephant seals. Yet another special marine wildlife adventure with Prince of Whales.
