Orcas are larger than dolphins

Much larger. We saw an orca coming south from AK. The dorsal fin is
huge, easily visible from 200 yards away.

I have seen one up close and personal but it was years ago - the same
trip where I ran into that Kodiak bear while char fishing.

Interesting critters.

Did you see any other whales or walrus? I was watching "Deadliest
Catch" a couple of weeks ago and the "Wizard" crab boat ran into a
herd of walrus - apparently it's a good luck thing with crabbers -
where the herd of walrus are, that's where the king crab are.
