Captain Gord slipped the Ocean magic from the pier in Victoria's inner harbour at 9am, and the adventure began. Our crew of Mika and Lashelle briefed the passengers on the area and the different types of marine wildlife. Our trip headed east, to Rosario Strait where our intrepid captain put us in perfect position to view Killer Whales. These were members of J pod, Resident Orca. They were working their way west towards open water. There was breaching, spyhops and mating behavior as they swam in the calm waters. Our trip then took us to Oak Bay, where there was a report of a grey whale. Gord quietly approached the area and sure enough there it was, close to shore. The Grey was working the shoreline, up for a few breaths then down for a few minuets. Just a pleasure to take in the peaceful nature of this gentle giant. We then traveled along Victoria's picturesque waterfront back to the inner harbour. This was yet another picture perfect wildlife adventure with Prince of Whales.Clint "Orcawizard"
