Many thanks for the notice. I thoroughly enjoyed the program. I was amazed to find that American whaling was such a significant boon to our economy. One part brought to mind another of my personal encounters with whales. We spotted a grey whale migrating southward in the Catalina channel, and I maneuvered our 31' ketch to sail alongside to observe. When the whale blew, the stench was awful! I never knew that they had halitosis! Then it dived, and I immediately turned hard to the left, because I didn't like the idea of it surfacing underneath us.
