Our wildlife adventure for this Monday afternoon was set against cloudy skies, however, the sea was flat calm and conditions good for finding wildlife. Those much sort after Orca, however, remained illusive. A good number of Harbour Porpoise were visible and delighted our guests as we headed east and north in search of marine life. Our Capt Anthony, and crew of Scott, Anna and Sophie shared their wealth of knowledge of this very picturesque and productive area with those on board. Our trip took us past Trail Island. Harbour Seals, Bald Eagles, sea ducks and gulls were also seen. At the bluffs on Henry island we found 'pair-bonding' of Pelagic Cormorants at nest sites. Mouflon sheep and Sika Deer were seen on Spieden, an island of the San Juan group, Washington. The tall ships of the S.A.L.T.S organization of Victoria and other marine traffic were also encountered during our interesting wildlife adventure.
