Saw that on Tv. That is wild stuff. They say they think he was just playing around. If I ever need to get a gift for a whale - I will get him a sailboat to play with.

The photos are amazing. I've had my share of freakish events while on the water over the years, but they pale compared to that.

Yes, close encounters with whales can be scary, especially on a kayak. This experience made me head for the hills real quick. Watch to the end to check out the stills I got! Once in a lifetime stuff!!!
