Early 80s near Friday Harbor, was drowsing along in my sailboat and I felt a shock like I’d hit a rock. Then the front of the boat began yawing a bit. Looked to the bow and there’s a male orca rubbing his snout against the bow of the boat. Reached over and gave him a rub and he rolled over in surprise. Came up and looked at me and I looked back and he came up for more rubs and rubs against the boat. After about 15 minutes he had his fill and let me go. 12 foot sailboat. 20 foot orca. I’ll never forget that experience.

At least, with an Orca around, there are no sharks.

Yes, I had a similar experience in Monterey Bay in California in the late 80's. We were fishing in a 23 foot boat, trolling for salmon when a couple of orcas came up behind us. We had two 10-pound lead weights on down-rigger cables that went down 200 feet with four fishing lines trailing behind us about 50 yards. Not once did they get tangled in our equipment. They swam along side of us coming as close as three feet from the boat. After a few minutes and as a parting gesture, one of them turned upside down and swam under our boat. I looked down and all I saw was white and black belly under our boat. It crossed from right to left and disappeared after that. I was only 16 or so at the time. I was in photography class at the time and I had an old 35mm camera with black and white film with me. I still have an 8x10 photo of that orca to this day. It was one of the most humbling and spiritual experiences I ever had in my life.

Orca are just a bit smarter and naturally social so they like to interact with us. Had a well known pod of Bottle nose Dolphins in the Gulf near Panama city and they would follow along the boats and come say hello to all the fishermen (and sometimes steal out price catches) but there was one male that just had it in his mind that we were always in danger when we would get in the water and swim because he'd come and try to lift us up and push us out of the water and onto the boat again. After a few times of us just jumping right back in the females would nudge him off and let us swim with them.

If you had only a few thousand ppl roaming around the planet, in their natural habitats, enough food and land etc. We would probably also be nice and kind in the same way that some indigenous tribes still are today. But with billions of us competing against each other to get access to limited land and resources, well, tensions can get high. Then again, in most civilized parts of the world, if you are hurt, there will be random males and females of your own species come to aid you and rush you to specially built facilities to save you. The will care for you and some of them stick with you until you are better or until the bitter end. In these facilities you will get access to literally a thousand years of your species technological and scientific advancements. People that have spent their entire lives learning the art of saving other humans will take care of you and treat you with the help of machines, chemicals and skills that had to be obtained in a painful history of trial and errors. There's a lot of good shit about our species. Maybe there are other animals that would have a society, so hellbent on saving other of their own kind. But there is nothing on this planet that would come even close to the care and help that most humans give to each other. If Luna was a human, there would've been an entire swarm of ships searching the ocean for her. The Orcas just gave up and moved on. Maybe they didnt care, maybe they couldn't afford to wait. Who knows. At the end though she was left alone by her own kind and the only other creature on the planet that cared were humans.

As a reminder, DO NOT play with an orca that comes to your boat. DO NOT let them form a connection with humans. This is what caused Luna to die. Being around boats is not safe for these animals and they dont understand that one wrong move around a boats propeller means death for them. Do the right thing and dont interact with them.

The natives wanted to lead Luna back to open waters where she could find a pod, but the gov't wouldn't allow it. You can see from Luna's behavior that she just wanted love and attention. The way those rivers and estuaries are set up, they're like mazes. At some point Luna had gotten separated from her pod. More often than not, when humans try to help, we do more harm than good.

Coming into Daytona beach ill never forget seeing the ocean for the first time in my life. We were going up amd down the street nearing the ocean. On top of one little hill, suddenly there was the Atlantic ocean. That sight is burned in memory forever. All i could utter was "wow" in absolute awe, seeing this vast amount of water for the first time in my life. I was in the water all day. I remember the salt water stinging my eyes. When we got back home that evening, i wemt to bed, and could still feel the constant out flow of the water going back and forth. The entire time i was so excited wondering what could be lurking near me. It's a whole lot different in person than just watching on tv. Im 63 now, and will be lucky to ever see the ocean again,.let alone go out in a boat! What i wouldn't give to do that just once! I'm beyond fascinated with the ocean! I can't even remember what it's like.
