August 31, 2022 – It was an exciting action packed sail with Biggs/Transient orcas known as T49A’s (minus T49A1 and T49A2) plus T19 with son, T19B. We got to witness their hunting abilities as they hunted a Steller sea lion. Unfortunately, it didn’t end well for the sea lion, but the orcas got to eat.
