Almost side-swiped!

 When we came out of Meyers Chuck this morning we noticed three Orcas about 1/2 mile ahead in Clarence Channel. They were moving fast in our direction so we got our cameras ready. It appeared to be an adult female with a calf and another young adult.

The largest whale dove a 100 meters or so away from us and then suddenly appeared within a few feet of the boat.

It's difficult to get good sharp images when things are moving fast. Roma captured a brief video that shows how close the whale came.

  5. That would have been awesome to see. It was probably curious about you and your boat.
