Andy, I had a whale experience once while on a boat near Monterrey.
Every one else was down under partying away, it was raining. I wanted
to see whales. Went out and stood looking. A huge ( aren't they
all?" ) humpback began swimming deliberately toward me, I just stood
and watched, it stopped when close, raised up and Looked me in the
eye! What an amazing experience!
