A peaceful day of fishing at Pedder Bay was shattered for a Saanich couple when a panicked California sea lion launched itself out of the ocean onto their 14-foot aluminum boat in a desperate attempt to elude a group of transient killer whales.

A few seconds later a terrified sea lion popped its head above the side of their craft and contacted the side of the vessel.
