Our 4.30pm Ocean Magic wildlife adventure this Saturday afternoon, took us east and then north up Haro Strait in search of those constant moving Orca. Large, noisy marine traffic share these waters with the wildlife. The Orca had traveled on the flood tide to Turn Point, 2 hrs after we had seen them at False Bay. We caught up with them at the Stewart Island Lighthouse. J 27, 'Blackberry' was traveling near J 28 'Polaris' a new mother since November 2009. Her young calf was seen close by with another youngster. Other members of J Pod, fish eating Orca, were observed foraging far apart in the late afternoon light. They all appeared to be heading north. We watched for a while in pleasant viewing conditions, with Mt. Baker looking very majestic. Other marine mammals seen this trip were Harbour Seal and Porpoise. Our expert crew ,Capt. Scott, Casey, Rhonda and Sophie shared their knowledge with our guests. Once again, this was a great 'Prince of Whales ' marine adventure.Marie "Orca-Magic"
