[CINC] The active humpie....

[thusone at aol.com]

I just have to post this.   Today, we met up with a BIG humpback whale, who happened to be right in the middle of her aerobics regimen.   1-2-3-...   48 tons of whale come FLYING out of the ocean, crashing down birthing a small tsunami...   1-2-3-...  UP again!, down,  Crashing backwards..again & again .Ok, now it's time for our calisthenics  1-2-3- 15-foot long pectoral fin sweeps up and slams against the ocean surface just as hard as madame whale can manage.   slam!  slam!  slam!  I mean, she was putting her shoulder into it, rising out of the water and slamming that pec down.  Second phase, roll over on our back 1-2-3  TWO 15-foot pectoral fins out of water slamming back together, again & again.... then cross the whales chest & then slam back into the water.   This went on for a half hour!   about 30 breaches, minimum.  Finally, Dave the Condor Express captain confessed....     this whale was on the payroll...   pass the tip jar!    hehehe

  ps I am just guessing it was Madame whale because of the size.
