Ocean Magic Widlife Adventure Aug 14 9am & 12:15pm


Under bright skies, full of sunshine and calm water all around, Capt.Scott headed the Ocean Magic 2 vessel out of the harbour, and east toward San Juan Island, Washington. The Southern Resident Orca Pods were heading down from the north and were foraging off Andrews Bay. Some individuals were seen offshore. Behaviours of breaching were observed by our crew and guests on board of Orca closer to shore. We identified members of J and L Pod. We watched with great interest as these magical animals enjoyed the abundance of fish in this area. Mt. Baker looked majestic in the bright sunshine, and a visit to Chatham and Discovery Island found the Gray Whale that has been seen often in this area. Harbour porpoise and Cormorants on a rock added to our experience of the wildlife found in these waters. Another wonderful day on the water once again.
Marie, Orca-Magic
