Capt Gord and his crew of naturalists, Scott, Rhonda and Liz headed the Ocean Magic 2 out of the harbour and turned west toward Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. It was here that we saw Harbour and Elephant Seals longing on rocks. Under sunny skies this Saturday afternoon trip was on a mission to follow up a report of 'ORCA' coming in from the west. The keen eyes of guests and crew searched for the tell tail signs of ' misty blows' and tall dorsal fins breaking the surface of the water. We were however, unable to find those illusive creatures, L Pod. It wasn't until we headed for San Juan Island that members of J Pod were seen foraging in the late afternoon light. It was truly magical to find J 27, 'Blackberry 'a large male Orca, taking slow dives and creating misty ' blows ' with other members of his family. We headed back to Victoria with very happy guests on board. Another great adventure on these west coast waters.Marie, Orca-Magic, and Clint, Orcawizard.
