I have a 13ft Solo skiff, and I go out 3 days a week. I've seen a pod pass by me only once, in Florida. And I did the same thing. I lifted my outboard and just sat there for an hour. They were around me, under me, and never touched my boat. They're rare here because the water is so warm. They're so beautiful, happy, and where they belong. They'll never hurt you. But I know they like a little space, especially with a baby orca around. And you were moving faster, and I think she was just swimming with you. They swim and jump in the wake of boats, doing 30 to 40 mph. They love that. They've never put a scratch on one human in the wild. They've never touched a kayak. They have killed 4 people in captivity, and the way they are treated, is the reason why. And Sea World should be held responsible for those 4 deaths. Whatever orcas are left, should be returned slowly to their families. They've released two already, and they're doing just fine. At least no whale can ever be taken away again, and they can't breed them in captivity anymore. 🙏 🌊 🐳

@@ritcheymt Orcas live in pods, tight-knit family units, around the world. One pod is not the same as the other. They're known to use different hunting tactics, exhibit different behaviors and have different diets. Only 1 pod is known to have attacked boats: the one in the Strait of Gibraltar (which I assume you meant; I've seen no reports for this from the Strait Of Magellan). Behavior is taught within pods, but rarely across pods. We're talking about 1 pod that lives in the northeast Atlantic region and orcas are not a planetwide migratory species; in fact, not even all pods migrate. Even if you did mean the Strait of Magellan in the Pacific side of South America, these 2 pods have never even met. There are more pods around the world in different regions around the world that have not exhibited this behavior at all. What I'm also wondering is if these orcas would actually attack humans in the water. They're damaging boats, but we can't even say for a fact it's an attack, since that implies we know their motivation, and we don't. Would they attack humans in the water? I mean, we're not very nutricious for oceanic animals. And if their regular food is in low supply they'd start migrating more randomly (like the Southern Resident orcas have had to do of late) around the southeast Atlantic looking for food and not just start attacking humans.

What a beautiful experience and you were so sweet with the lovelies. Thank you for being kind to them and sharing with us.

You were very respectful of the orcas, giving them their space and not freaking out/frightening or hurting them when they chose to come closer. That is the right balance-keep a respectful distance and knowing when they are coming too close and you need to back away.

They are most likely juveniles playing rough because they’d been taught by “teenage Orcas” to do so. If they wanted the people on the boats, they are MORE than capable of getting them.

“Mammal. Whatever…. “. I love Seinfeld too. Great memory. For those who never saw it or don’t remember, this is what George Costanza said when he was risen up by a wave and landed on top of a whale, before pulling the golf ball out of its blowhole. Absolutely hilarious.

You are so lucky ! Verry nice 👍👍👍👍

Young orca have been biting off rudders this year. Seems like new fashion.

Awesome footage thanks for sharing!

You were so respectful. That's great. But you still got beautiful video.

Awesome video, but frightening! 😮

Was it looking for your catch?
