Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure July 10 3:30pm

With lovely sunny weather, and stunning west-coast scenery all around, a trip on the water to find the amazing wildlife this area has to offer is just the thing! British Columbia is experiencing the warm, hazy days of summer and there is no place better than being on the water.The Ocean Magic 2 set sail for San Juan Island at 3.30pm Saturday afternoon, with Capt Scott at the helm. We headed east across Haro Strait and north to catch up with the reported Orca that were heading south past Kellett Bluff. These were members of both J Pod, and K Pod. K 40, K21 and J 26, were easily identified. Many others close to shore, showed active behaviours that included, spyhops, breaches, cartwheels and tail slaps.The Tall ships, Pacific Swift and Pacific Grace were enjoying the Orca spectacle with us. Our expert crew, Michaela, Casey and Liz shared their knowledge of all things wild. It was another stunning adventure under blue skies and a chance encounter with the Gray Whale on our way back to the harbour.
Marie, Orca-Magic
