Default Killer Whales (Orcas) Surfing the Wake of a Powerboat

Maybe but just being playfull I think. * We see dolphins doing things

noise - possibly exhaust noise. * We see them seeking us out from far
away with the surfing opportunity just an added bonus after they get
closer.



Could be, Wayne, but it looks to me that if a whale could have flopped
onto the aft, then the boat probably would have gone down.
