    That’s a great up close and personal experience with a beautiful species.

      They don’t want you there. It’s apparent we’ve become an invasive species.

    When I was in the Navy I was sitting on a deck about 50 feet above sea and a humpback whale surfaced right next to the ship and his eye looked huge. I really think they believe ships are another species of fish. Dolphins would run in the wake too. I also saw thousands of flying fish. But I never saw this. Very cool and way to go...rowing for charity. Amazing. God bless you

    Pro tip. If you are ever stranded in the middle of the ocean. Call for whales. They will come get you.

    Whales are mostly harmless.
    However, tales such as 'Moby dick' and 'heart of the sea,' have come from tales of hunting the sperm whale.
