Well I guess between bringing in a fish...& seeing an Orca ...the one handling the cam was "just alittle excited."
Looked like a baby Orca but nevertheless BIG LOOKING as who sees these creatures next to their boat....normally

Like the story just a few yrs ago where a boater (near the Gulf Islands I think) had a harbour seal jump into the motor well (back of the boat) It just sat there as Orcas were cruising the waters nearby & this seal knew it was on the menu.
It took it's chances by trusting the owners of the boat !!!
(alan ...did ya ever hear the Mody Dick story?) Ya I too wonder if a big Orca or any large whale may just decide to capsize a boat or ram it etc... :o
EXTRA: (side note) Downtown Steveston had traffic jams today ...thought it was the PNE...people must be down to buy the Socks at the dock.
