Morning, muchachos. Back from the sea. Got caught in a freak gale on Saturday and had a hairy crossing to hide between two islands, so didn't get home until yesterday afternoon. Hell of an adventure, though.
sounds like fun! Welcome home.

Mornin' folks.
Morning DR.  We're just hearing how raz was swallowed by a whale.
Actually, that was two years ago and it was #1 son. He was motoring the dinghy across Liberty Bay and hadn't seen the gray whale that had surfaced behind him. He swung around to come back across and the whale ate him.

Okay, it didn't eat him, but it scared him pretty good and we had to discuss the matter with Federal officials who thought he had been harassing the whale.

How in the world did the feds become involved?  Whale-cam?

Happened to be in the area monitoring whales - dumb luck. Getting within 100 yards of whales is a federal crime.

Morning, all.  Not quite ready for this Monday morning, but I guess that kinda applies to all of them.
