With our experienced, Captain Brad at the helm we headed south to catch up with the Transients, the T30's who had been reported to be surrounding a seal on a kelp bed. We found them tail slapping, and slicing through the water, trying to intimidate the lone seal. For several hours this family apparently surrounded the seal, possibly teaching their own young how to hunt. Luckily for the seal, the resident whales, J Pod and some of L Pod were on their way in from the west quickly, which apparently sent the Transients on their way. It was exciting to see several members of J Pod swim close to the OM. The visitors on board were all smiles as they disembarked at the dock. Another exciting adventure with POW.
