No idea who or where, but a close encounter of the Orca kind...
We were about a mile southeast of the last of the whales, and they had turned north. Started to power up, when I saw a fin...
Shut down the engine, expecting the whale to pass well off our side. It turned...
Heading right at the boat. A very unintended close encounter.
Then, under the water...
And she stopped to look at us. Yes, made eye contact. Then, another blow, and she was off...
That little rainbow is from the sunlight filtering through the spray from her blow.
That is L-47, also known as Marina (a 40 year old female).

I have heard that things like this happen, even when the captain is being vigilant.
