Looking for 'WHALES' can take us east, west, south and north in these waters. Our guests on board the Sunday afternoon Ocean Magic were in good hands with crew members, Capt. Scott at the helm and Naturalist Derrek. We left the harbour and headed west to view several Elephant Seals, many California and Steller Sea Lions, lounging on rocks at Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. A number of Harbour Seals were also seen at this historical lighthouse. We turned east after a tip came from the office that two Transient Orca had been seen much earlier. We search diligently for these top predators but never found them. Three types of Cormorants, Brandt, Double-crested and Pelagic along with many Rhinoceros Auklets were seen on our travels. A small flock of migrating Brant Geese passed by. Conditions were perfect for spotting some of the interesting bird and wildlife along the BC west coast this afternoon.Marie, Orca-Magic
