It was a wonderfully sunny day once again on the west coast when our experienced Capt . Anna took the 12.15pm Ocean Magic 2 vessel out of the Harbour, and followed a course south and east where we had heard that 4 Transient Killer Whales had been seen. We found them this calm afternoon slowly traveling on the surface and then taking deep dives, making us guess where they would pop up next ! Our guests on board were delighted to see these incredible, marine mammal hunting Orca. Our knowledgeable crew shared their experiences with everyone. We left the whales traveling farther south and headed west to visit other big marine mammals at Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. It was here we watched noisy Steller and California Sea Lions. Also some sleepy Elephant Seals that lounged together. We had an opportunity to observe rafts of Bull Kelp, the fastest growing marine plant during summer months, and to notice sea birds that included Rhinoceros Auklets foraging on small fish in the calm water. It was another memorable trip with prince of Whales.
Marie, Orca-Magic
