Maria was on a vessel in Vancouver Island in Broughton, Archipelago on September 23, 2021. She saw orcas in the distance and watched them as they slowly got closer to her. All of a sudden while she was videoing them, she heard a noise behind her and saw that a brown sea lion had jumped onto her boat. This scared the daylight out of her. At this point, she didn't know what to do since she realized she knew why the orcas were coming so close. They wanted the seal. She couldn't move or turn her boat since the orcas were under her boat and swimming by and she was terrified that they would push the boat and tip it over to get the sea lion.
