***OCCASIONAL SWEARING & excited shrieking warning 😜 this is your disclaimer
We think this is the T109A “Biggs” transient pod, with T097 bull, also known as the Runways.
June 16, 2022 between 6:45-8:45pm near Portland Island in Juneau, Alaska. During a last-minute evening cruise with no plan, we ended up following a family of Orca from a distance in my 18ft skiff, until they seemed to pause offshore from the island. We quickly realized they were hunting a sea lion & may have either been teaching a calf in the process, or simply playing with their prey, hence the drawn-out nature of this event. We turned the engine off and floated for well over an hour as they circled us over and over, swimming directly under the boat a few times. Pardon our audible excitement and the swearing 😜 The sea lion put up a strong fight, but eventually succumbed to one of the most powerful predators on earth. After they finally took their prey, the adults seemed to celebrate, breaching one after another. Thank you for blessing us with this experience.
