Maybe it's the skeptic in me, but I find this just a little coincidental that they "encountered" a pod of whales the day after the news reports whales being spotted in the waters of Cape Cod.

If there were no witnesses to this event besides the survivor, who's to say that they weren't out "looking for whales" aka "harassing wildlife".

Unless there are confirmed cases of whales/dolphins actually making contact with watercraft (not whale-watching ships), I would have to believe that these creatures would most likely go the other way when approached by a boat.

This has the feel of a sad "red-neck" joke that begins "I have an idea...." or "Why don't we...."

The loss of life is sad no matter what the circumstances.
