September continues to be a great month for viewing Transient Orca, mammal eating whales. Our experienced Captain Shamus took us south of Race rocks to find two Transient Orca,T20 and T21. Earlier we had spent some time viewing Harbour Seals on rocks near the DND, property at Metchosin. The two Transient Orca were travelling east and doing a little foraging along the way. At one point, they surprised the many international passengers on board the Ocean Magic, by suddenly appearing along side. Our dedicated crew Kurt, Nichola and Derek shared their knowledge with the passengers. We tried to locate the two Pacific white-sided Dolphins that had been reported earlier, but to no avail so we made a stop at Race Rocks to enjoy the roaring, barking and tussling of the Steller and California Sea Lions. The wildlife viewing álong the BC coast is always spectacular. Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
