I AGREE

PS. Watch the whole video. There is a suprise twist!

Please, somebody, teach that guy how to hold a camera!

Meanwhile, the cetaceans are getting even.

Why? I'm sure they get to see whales all the time in their line of work.

Dark skinned whales. Probably shoot them.

See stuff.

Molas, blue sharks, Elephant seal, pilot whale the size of my boat, right next to it at 20 mph. Blue whale tails off Monterrey. A million porpoises at once- okay, well, thousands. Sleeping Marlin. A Marlin headed north at speed, 'porpoising' in and out of the water. Flying fish. Mako shark is delicious. Welcome to San Diego. Next travelogue, Baja California. Boojum Trees anyone? Jewel Moray?

And my sister thinks she has to fly somewhere for Eco Tourism.

When I used to sail my Hobie Cat out of Bogue Sound past Shackleford Banks (NC Outer Banks) I would often have dolphins escorting me. Sometimes almost close enough to touch. Quite a trip when sitting on a trampoline deck less than two feet above the water.

I was also glad to see them for more selfish reasons. Supposedly when there are dolphins around it means that the sharks aren't.

That passage is also pretty well known for sharks. I wouldn't feel quite as comfortable with sharks next to the boat while on a trampoline less than two feet above the water.

Capsizing is cold water is fairly dangerous. Of course, the average ocean temperature in the Puget sound is 40-some odd degrees in the dead of winter, from what I can find online. At which temperature your average human being will be able to maintain consciousness for 30-60 minutes. Though not something I'd ever feel the need to test, personally.

And it only ever gets up to around 53F (11C) in the summer which is why you don't see us Seattleites swimming in the Sound much. Hypothermia is a year-round risk here.
