With our all girl crew and Capt. Anna at the helm of the noon, ' Ocean Magic ', we were bound to have a great wildlife adventure. We headed east in bright , but windy conditions. It was a mixed bag of weather throughout the three hour trip, however we were in luck and got to see, if only fleetingly, Harbour and Dall's Porpoise in Haro Street. We travelled past Henry Island in the San Juans, and saw Pelagic Cormorants nesting. A visit to Spieden Island, Washington, gave us good looks at Sika Deer, Mouflon Sheep, Harbour seals and Steller Sea Lions. It was on our way back to Victoria, at the Chain Islands, that our biologist, Mika suddenly caught sight of black fins in the aqua marine water. We discovered two Transient Orca moving fast through the waves. We had a male,T 87 and female,T 88. Our crew shared their wealth of knowledge with our many international guests.Marie, Orca-Magic
