Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure Aug 7 12.15 and 3.30pm

'The Ocean Magic 2 ' vessel took our many international visitors out to see the wonderful wildlife that the waters off Victoria, have to offer. Despite the much needed rainfall that the province of BC craved, Saturday was indeed a wet day for viewing wildlife, but we had 'ORCA ', Killer Whales everywhere. Capt. Scott, and his crew members, Mika, Rhonda and Dan headed the Ocean Magic toward the east where we spotted members of J and L Pod, the fish eating Orca, off San Juan Island, Washington. We saw the oldest female, J 2, Granny and the J 14, family group. They were in resting mode and traveling slowly. Both the 12.15 and 3.30pm trips had excellent views of these magical, marine mammals. Our expert crew shared their knowledge with the guests on board. A single, swimming Steller Sea Lion and several Harbour Porpoise were also seen during our travels as well as a Great Blue Heron fishing off a dock as we entered the harbour. It was another wonderful day of wildlife viewing with Prince of Whales.
Marie, Orca-Magic.
