Orcas in Blank Inlet

A pod of orcas were seen in Blank Inlet from Blank Island.  The pod was at least a half mile away, and we were unable to move closer to them on shore due to the high tide.  The sighting was very brief as the wind began to increase forcing us to get back into our boat and head back to Ketchikan.  The pod appeared to be spread apart, and it looked as though they were swimming in a single file line.  We did get to see one of the whales breach.

​We are unable to identify these whales.
