This is the boat I chartered to take Ava to see the Orcas.
I spare no expense for My Girl!
(It's the little aluminum one in the foreground :) (( the big
fiberglass one was on it's maiden voyage and unavailable))
Size doesn't matter (in boats) but the big Orca was the matriarch
and she had quite a following. This pod was really puzzling the
experts on board until they called around to the other boats and
figured out this was not a local pod but a sea-going family group.
They don't mix - the locals eat only salmon and the transient Orcas
only eat seals and sea lions.
There were people watching from this island (one of the San Juans)
and even launching kayaks to get a closer look. They had quite
an audience and we were thrilled to be among them!
