Close Encounter with Transient Orcas on the West Side of Speiden Island
[08/18/17- M/V Sea Hawk- Kelsey, Naturalist- 2:00PM]
It was almost too easy, today! M/V Sea Hawk cruised out of Roche Harbor in search of whales and other awesome wildlife, and it only took a matter of minutes to reach the west side of Speiden Island where some transient (or mammal-eating) orcas were mingling. We had hoped to see whales, but we soon saw much more than just that! We saw whales come up RIGHT to our boat!
We had our engine off and were watching them milling...
