It was one of those glorious late afternoon Ocean Magic trips, that allowed for fantastic viewing of the incredible west coast scenery that can be found in these waters. The mountain scenery was spectacular. With Capt. Gord and crew members Rhonda and Casey on board, we headed deep south from the harbour, and traveled along the Washington coastline in search of a Humpback Whale that had been reported earlier. Alas, it remained illusive, however we had great looks at, cruise ship and tanker traffic traversing the Strait of Juan de Fuca. We also saw Harbour Porpoise, and California Sea Lions lounging at Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. A number of bait-balls where gulls and sea birds were diving for fish were observed. Our return trip took us past Esquimalt Harbour where several naval ships were gathered to help celebrate Canada's Naval Centennial. It was another fantastic wildlife adventure with 'Prince of Whales',Marie, Orca-Magic
