Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure Aug 4 9am

It was a sunny morning once again on the west coast of BC and our all girl crew headed the 9am Ocean Magic 2 vessel, out of the harbour and turned east toward San Juan Island. It was here that Captain Anna set us up in a great position to see several members of the Southern Resident Orca ' meet and greet 'each other. Orca from all three pods , J, K and L were present including L 41 'Mega' and L 88 'Wavewalker', as well as the K 13 family group. Several large males were foraging off shore at Eagle Point San Juan Island, and others were traveling north close to shore. Migrating Gulls were plentiful with California and Heerman's seen frequently. A mother and pup Harbour seal were enjoying the calm water. It was a picturesque morning with calm seas and light winds. Our many international visitors thoroughly enjoy their first whale watching adventure with Prince of Whales.
Marie, Orca-Magic.
