Pilot Whales




We spotted a huge pod of Pilot Whales about 2 miles offshore of Ka'awaloa. They were logging on the surface, probably resting after feeding on squid last night. The pod was spread out as far as we could see. Here Brian is thinking about jumping in for a closer look. Oceanic Whitetip sharks often follow the pod looking for scraps and leftovers.



Some of the adults males made Capt'n Shawny and the 6 pax boat look kinda small. The bulls can weight up to three tons.
