Thanks.. I feel a bit like Captain Ahab of Mobey Dick. I've been looking for whales almost contantly every time I found myself on a coastline, and had convinced myself they were too small or too similar in color to the water to see. Once, I was even duped by someone who photo-shopped a blue whale into of layer of Google Earth... But then, lo-and-behold, this guy showed up on my last troll of the night. Looks like its doing a double take at the ship that just passed by.
