Steve Jeffries (Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife) holds lines as Jeff Foster, Jen Schorr and Greg Schorr float near the male transient killer whale CA188. Though hoists and ropes were used to attempt to support the whale through the night, all efforts failed as the whale would subsequently roll out of the sling and then return to the shallows.
