    Incredible footage, I cannot imagine having that experience- awe-inspiring and terrifying at the same time.

    One playful bump from even the smallest member of the "huge pod of whales" could break the rower's small rudder underneath his small boat and strand him "more than 100 nautical miles off the coast of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic Ocean" where it gets cold & wet & windy & rough & deadly at night-fall.

      Due to their size and strength, pilot whales have often endangered or harmed divers and their caretakers in the water -from Perfect Diver Magazine 19 issue

    Great start for Tom's attempt to row across the North Atlantic for charitable causes, what a top bloke.

    Another amazing natural phenomenon.
    The whales did not harm anyone.
    It's similar to what dolphin pods do.

    I’d love to know what kind of whales they are?? I love killer whales but they look different and smaller.
