The last stop on the
cruise was Victoria Canada. A bunch of us had booked the Whale Watching
excursion, so we met up at the Excursion’s Office and walked down to the pier.
Not wanting to miss a thing, a few of us headed out to the bow – so we could
watch everything happening around us. It was a bit overcast, and as we headed
away from shore the waters got pretty rough. There was so much hard bouncing
into the waves that I decided to head out to the back of the boat, where the
ride would be a little less jarring. Then it started to rain, and things got a
bit rough – but fortunately it didn’t last long.
As the rain cleared up, we headed out for a close-up view of
a Lighthouse – and saw a little Otter swimming around. I was a bit afraid that
would be the only wildlife we would see. But the skies cleared, and we headed
over to a new place – and there were 4 Orca Whales hanging out over there,
along with a baby whale. They were feeding, so we got some peeks as they came
out of the water – and it was amazing to be so close to them out in their
natural element. Then they started to move off, and we followed them – and it
was almost like they were putting on a show for us as they jumped and played in
the water along the coastline for a while, before they headed out to open
waters.
