Ocean Magic Adventure May 7

Posted on by
Captain Gord slipped the Ocean Magic from Victoria’s inner harbour and headed us west past Race Rocks and out past Sooke to Otter Point. Here we caught up with T124C a Transient Orca. We watched this solo Killer Whale as it would surface in typical random Transient Orca fashion. The weather closed in on us, but with our large main covered deck we all could still take in this majestic animal. Our trip then took us back to Race Rocks Ecological reserve, where the Light House towers over the Steller and California Sea lions, Elephant and Harbour Seals. Mika, Liz and Dan filled our passengers with information and answered the many questions. As our skipper gently brought the Ocean Magic back to the dock our passengers were all smiles after another great trip with Prince of Whales! Clint “Orcawizard” , Marie “Orca-Magic”

Ocean Magic Adventure May 3

We set sail on a windy afternoon with Capt. Gord in the wheelhouse. Our vessel headed east from the harbour and encountered some intrepid souls negotiating the wind and the waves while para-surfing. We soon encountered some Dall’s Porpoise while traveling north up Haro Strait in search of Orca. The wind and waves soon abated and our crew of Naturalists, Mika and Liz announced to the guests on board, that Orca had been reported near Pender Island. We found members of J Pod Orca heading north past Turn Point. ‘ J 2, ‘Granny ‘, J Pod’s oldest female celebrating 100 yrs of age this year, appeared to be in the lead, with J 8 and L 87. J 28 and her youngster J 46 were also seen with other young members of this Pod.J 27, ‘ Blackberry ‘, a 20yr old male showed off his tall straight dorsal fin as he swam by. A pair of Bald Eagles were also seen on a small island. It was a great encounter once again with these magical creatures, the ‘ ORCA’ that ply the waters of the picturesque Pacific Northwest.
