The one security I had was that the boat could not approach the whales with in a 100 yards. However, I did not realize that that the whales had no restrictions. I am pretty sure the whales knew I was on the boat and thought they would play a little trick on me.
Chris was looking over the side of the boat and saw this huge shadowy monster under the boat. The captain pointed out that it was a whale and it would be surfacing right next to the boat. I started praying and letting God know that I did not want to be the next Jonah.
Sure enough, that whale surfaced with in 10 yards of the boat, gave a little slap and tail wave. After that appearance, I tended to stay in the middle of the boat and enjoy looking at the whales from afar. In all, the trip was a lot of fun. It was so intriguing to see these mammals living in their natural habitat. Below is a short tid bit of what we saw.

Oh my goodness I cracked up when you wrote that you did not want to be the next Jonah! Too funny! That would have freaked me out a bit too, especially so close to the boat. Your video clip was awesome! I think I would love for my boys to see the whales one day in life. What an amazing experience!
