It was thrilling, recalls Kathy.

Anything that size, that close.

It almost took your breath away.

Later, the whale and a group of sea lions return for another round of hunting.

We just burst with glee, said Kathy.

We just watched it over and over again because we just couldnt believe what we were seeing.

This incredible story proves that lifes mishaps can sometimes turn out even better than expected.

As Mieras puts it, Failure is just another step toward success.

Kathy adds her own perspective, saying, One way to get amazing things is to take the risk.

You just got to try and try, because you just never know.
