Orcas in San Diego

So the whale watching boats have been spotting this pod or Orcas for months now and they seems to be just hanging around, just moving up and down the coast... Carlsbad, then La Jolla, Point Loma.

This video is just outside the surfline at Scripps pier in La Jolla, a spot where I surf often.

On one hand, I'd LOVE to be in the water with them... on the other hand, maybe not while they're having a Dolphin for dinner.

Yeah I liked it better before drones when we were blissfully ignorant.

There was a recent study done that basically said every time I go surfing there is at least one shark within 100 yards of you at some point during your session. Usually a juvenile so only 6, 8, 10 feet long, so that's super comforting.

I've seen a couple, but I'd be a damn fool to think that hundreds haven't seen me. I guess the fact that nobody's tried to taste me yet in my 48 years of surfing is a pretty good indicator that they must know I'm terribly bitter and not at all yummy.

 

When I think of all the dumbshit things I did as a kid, in the ocean, with no thought or respect to it or the animals within it I cringe.

stuff like this a huge reminder… good lord I was an idiot.

 

Dayumm!! I got a Costco sized thing of butter!

 

Nice!!!! Keys in the 60s and early 70s had nice lobsters everywhere! YUMMY!

 

They need to thin out the sea lions!! Those things living on boats and where ever else they decide to throw their weight around!

 

Yeah, not many of them look like his anymore.

Still looks pretty good though.

 

But they're so dang cute!
