A few years back I was in a 14’ runabout with two teenagers watching a pod of killer whales off Read Island at the mouth of Bute Inlet when they got on the short chase of a Stellar’s sea lion.
They tossed that thousand pound beast back and forth like a rag doll. We went back to the dock with our hearts in our throats, believe me!
Correction: Stuart Island, near Big Bay, not Read - that’s another tale of the Inside Passage...lol
