One of the coolest things I've ever seen was a huge pod of humpback wales bubble-net feeding in Alaska.

Whereabouts in Alaska? Were you fishing, or whale-watching?

Watching out of Juno...the fjords are often over 300' but dead still on top. Beautiful place.

Always very cool to see but almost daily observation when trolling for tuna in the Provincetown to Stellwagon Bank area during the spring through fall! Had 15-20 humpbacks cooperatively feeding within a few 100's yds from shore couple weeks back.

Go on a whale watch or come out tuna fishing!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

That's awesome. It always amazes me when the pilots go past the race. They get pretty close to the kayak guys out there.

There were a couple 50 yards away from us in Chatham the other day in 60 feet of water. They stuck around for quite a while.
