A Rare Triple Breach from K Pod! – 23/8/16
They say that everything happens in this world for a reason. That, in one form or another, fate will always find a way. We arrived on-scene just as the K13 matriline lined themselves up to surf the wake of a nearby cargo ship. We drifted in the water very slowly at first, gearing ourselves up…
