It was another westcoast summer day with warm temperatures, and plenty of blue skies. Capt. Gord, and crew members, Scott and Rhonda took the 3.30pm Ocean Magic out of the harbour and charted a course south of Victoria to find a mother and calf Humpback Whale that were slowly traveling south west. Their slow speed indicated they were in resting mode. We watched with fascination as this twosome took several breaths at the surface and then disappeared for several minutes. We left them to head east, and north up Haro strait, where we found Southern Resident Orca, members of K and J Pod foraging off Henry and Stuart Island. Several youngsters were traveling close to their mothers. We enjoyed family groups traveling past the Ocean Magic. Our return trip took us past Seabird Lighthouse, where a Gray Whale was visible among the kelp beds. With three species of whale in a three hour trip, we returned to the harbour beaming. What an exciting trip once again with Prince of Whales.Marie, Orca-Magic.
