[CINC] orcas down south

[Catherine French]

Thanks, Anthony.

Experienced this off the IPCO Islander a couple of years ago on a gray whale watch on the back side of AI. The sea lion was an adult male and hid next to the boat when a pod of five Orca began pursuit. It too, seemed to be in a teaching mode as we watched the hunting behavior but suddenly the pod veered off and the sea lion came out from hiding and took off to the south side of Anacapa. All aboard applauded for the show and that the sea lion got to live another day. Whew!

Calm seas,
