Well, there's whale watching by intent and whale watching by accident. I know someone who was kayaking in Alaska many years ago who had a very close encounter with an orca. They had been told to tap on the hull of the kayaks if they stopped so the whales whould know where they were. While taking in the scenery, they forgot about this part. An orca surfaced very close. They did not forget again.hobie16 wrote:The smallest boat I've gone whale watching on was a 65 foot catamaran. I've seen kayakers approach whales. They must be crazy.

Getting the shark to bite the cable is easy, you just tie a goat to the end and toss it over the side.DisneyMom wrote:Oh,it starts innocently enough......

The hard part is getting the goat onto the boat in the first place.

This is a pretty cool story.
Camera Lost While Scuba Diving In Hawaii Washes Ashore In Taiwan 5 Years Later
by Kyle Ellison on Mar 25th 2013 at 2:00PM

When Lindsay Scallan of Newnan, Georgia lost her camera during a 2007 scuba dive in Maui, she swallowed the hard pill of realizing that her vacation photos would be gone forever.
As it turns out, in a story recently published by Hawaii News Now, the Canon camera (which was in an underwater case) was found 6,200 miles away on the shores of Taiwan by a China Airlines employee who was taking a walk down the beach.
Despite the fact that the camera was covered in barnacles, the memory card was still intact and contained all of the photos that Scallan had snapped on her Hawaiian vacation nearly five and a half years prior. full story
