Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure Aug 13 3:30pm

It was one of those productive and most memorable days, on Friday 13th of August. With Capt Scott in the wheel house and an experienced crew on board, our wildlife trip headed out of the harbour. At the breakwater we encountered unexpectedly, four Transient Killer Whales that had decided they would explore the breakwater inside and along the outside. This activity delayed for a while, most of the air and marine traffic wanting to leave. These were the mammal eating type of Orca. Farther south in the Strait of Juan de Fuca we encountered 'Super-Pod ', coming in from the west. This term is used to describe when all the Southern Resident Orca J , K and L Pods, the fish eaters, travel together.They were happy whales showing off with behaviours of breeching, spyhopping , and tail slapping. It was so exciting to watch 87 whales in three groups traveled east. Our guests were in awe, watching all these whales go by, and if that wasn't enough, we also had a glimpse of the Gray Whale hanging out at Chatham and Discovery Island. What an awesome trip with three species of whale, and what great weather too!
