Wow! A special moment, and you put me there. Thanks.

And it was a Minke! I've never seen a Minke!!! I've only seen the California Greys and Humpbacks. Shearwaters! Wheee! Love those things. First one I ever saw, I said "Hey! What's that thing!?! It's just gliding low, shearing across the water...oh. That's why they call them shearwaters!!!"
