Orca



An absolute feature of the summer holiday was an hour's paddling with a pod of six orca who cruised into the bay just as we had arrived in kayaks at the Arrows. We joined the flotilla of kayaks following the pod of a huge bull, another adult and four smaller orca, as they meandered into all the little rocky bays, probably hunting stingray - or just looking around. Looking UP at the top of a dorsal fin, being SO close to all the power and grace, and being able to spend so much time with them was amazing. Certainly a first for us.

Great to see the photos and catch up with the other side of the Charlie waiting experience. I like the comment - looking UP at the fin. Really gives a sense of the hugeness of the orca more than all the photos somehow. Blessings
