But the best sighting was on a trip to Hawaii. We were on one of those "whale watching" boats when we saw a mother training her baby really REALLY close to us. They had to shut off the motors and wait for her to move on, according to regulation. She hung around for 40 minutes or so. It was amazing.WendyCinNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548500219172368038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-28974717509104100342009-01-29T08:28:00.000-06:002009-01-29T08:28:00.000-06:00*grumbles* pesky adverbs...What a sighting!
