Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure July 5th 3.30pm



Capt. Scott took the 3.30pm Ocean Magic 2 vessel out of the harbour late, Monday afternoon, for parts east and north of Victoria. We were on our way to Haro Strait to see those magical, 'ORCA ' that everyone wishes to see on any whale watching adventure. We weren't going to be disappointed! The weather was perfect as we headed north to where we could encounter these fast moving black and white mammals. They were heading south past Kellett Bluff at Henry Island, and moving fast. They were on a mission. Thrilling to watch their porpoising behaviours in the blue water. J 1 'Ruffles, 'and J 2 'Granny,' were the leaders. Although they seemed to be moving as single animals most of the time, we did see many individuals, especially the big boys, of J Pod. Our crew members, Mika, Danielle and Michaela shared their wealth of knowledge with the guests on board. One or two Harbour Porpoises and a Gray Whale were seen on our return trip. This was one of those very special trips with Prince of Whales and the Orca once again.
