I have to agree. In about 1977 I was sailing my small sailboat about 20 miles offshore, and about 50 miles north of San Diego. A single large Orca jumped out of the water 4 times right next to my boat, getting higher that the top of my mast, and each time crashing into the water next to my boat, which rocked violently each time. I lay down in the bottom of the cockpit, and fell off the wind a bit so I could steer for several minutes without having to see where I was going.

The whole experience was unnerving.

In comparison, I once had an old grey whale lift its head out of the water within 3 or 4 feet of that boat and it just gazed at me and my friends for a short while before gently lowering itself and moving off. That boat was only 22 feet long and the grey whale seemed like it was being gentle about being near us.
