very cool mammal ,treats us better than we treat them, thats for sure !
I wonder how well they can see our kayaks, I know, or think I know that I have been missed on purpose or "checked out"-they must know objects are near them just like we do when we walk down a path etc...
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.”

They're lucky it didn't give them even a flick of its fluke. That would have sent them flying. And from the tones of their voices it didn't sound like they fully understood the potential danger of their situation. Good on the whale for not clobbering them.
May the fish be mighty and the seas be meek...

+1 the whales in front of Moss do tricks for the boats. They are really intelligent creatures, no doubt about that.
