Out on the Footloose

AWWWWWW!!! This is a baby orca swimming right along side his/her mother just off Cortes Island on Sunday afternoon. We were out on Al and Margie's boat, Footloose, and spotted the pod of about 7 feeding on salmon. It was the most incredible whale watching experience I have had! 

We saw one swimming on her back, quite a few time we saw them breech and we also saw them chomping on the salmon.

Great photo Kathy! I hardly ever check the 'Gettin' together' but something told me to check right now. That would have been awesome to see.
