i was out checking my moorings yesterday and met with two local lobstermen.i asked about the sighting of the two orcas off the back of islands eye and they laughed. seemly the sighting was made by the local charter boat who has been full with visitors since the alleged sighting

no one else with all the boats out fishing has seen them nor have they been sighted anywhere along the east coast

since

so it is possible

Could be, they are very common down here, but not so much up there...
