Whale vs. Yacht and all the combined posts....

well i guess you can call the captain of that boat Ishmael!!!
you got to wonder what the whale said on his way through!!!!( oooops sorry dinners ready)!!!

Wasn't Ishmael the harpooner? and Capt Ahab the skipper of the whaler.

Yes but...

Now there is the "one that got away story of a lifetime" Can you imagine ?

...it is probably what the whale is telling his buddies too!

I hope that he has good insurance. I do not know if this would be covered under a normal policy knowing that it was a whale. Who knows.

We get close to whales sometimes here too. Our Commodore met these orca recently. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3333531/Yachtie-encounters-orca-in-Banks-Peninsula

IMHO Amazing PhotoShop work. It would be a million in one chance someone actually has the camera ready to take that shot. The camera has no shutter lag in order to capture that pic and from the angle it must be near by.

Sometimes it make you wonder how does the camera angle of the StarShip Enterprise. Another StarShip must be near by.

Actually Ishmael was the teller of the story and an able bodied seamanr. Queequeg was the "savage" harpooner.
