They are very intelligent animals and are very selective about what they eat. Personally I would love to see them, if only for their shark deterrant effect
Like you Greg, I hope I'm able to paddle in or near some Orca some day. I've seen Grey whales 10 feet behind my kayak and diving under me, and 150 pound BSB checking me out on my Kayak, I would love to have an orca swim by.
