Its a sad lose. yes , people do stupid things every day but its still sad when someone gets caught in the act and pays for it so dearly.

People who spend a lot of time on the water know the dangers and its actually the ones who know the most ,who might survive without the safety precautions ,who prepare the best and wear the preservers in cold water and in obviously dangerous watercraft. Many a time I've been on the water where I put on a life preserver and had "landlubbers" laugh at me and say things like "I thought you were a big seaman!". its exactly this ignorance that gets people in trouble.

As to the question , I have seen a gazillion pilot whales out there but not orcas. its hard to say if the seal explosion has changed things but absent that , its very likely it was pilot whales and it just seems so likely they were trying to get close to them. Who knows though.

Who here can say they have never done anything dumb while on the water?

Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
