July 15th – Incredible encounter with L87 Onyx!
Today we had another wonderful day with Resident Orcas off San Juan and the highlight of the day was when L87 Onyx chased a Salmon just 200 yards from our boat! It was an amazing sight and just shows the speed and power of the oceans top predator 
Orcas can achieve speeds of 30 miles an hour or 50 kph when chasing their prey. They use their incredibly complex and sophisticated sonar called eco location to hunt the Salmon and can even stun the Salmon when they get close enough.
