Funny thing happened today, so lets say I must of not been listening to the safety part of the lecture, so I went out this morning solo.

and I saw a whale a good ways away, thought it must be a grey going north. so I kept on with my trolling along the kelp, next thing you know this blue whale, I kid you not comes up maybe 50 ft alongside my yak. It was like a submarine coming to the surface, I have never put my lifejacket on so fast. Anybody within half a mile probably heard me freaking out! It came up once more facing me and dove down. I decided that was quits for me for the day!

Definately learned keeping a life jacket on or in easy reach is important!
