    1. Dang that is so cool and would freak me out a bit. Would never think an area with docks by the shore could handle a whale that big, until today that is.

    2. Fun fact: harbours are generally chosen because they are deep, so boats don’t hit the bottom. North America is a hotbed of them because of prehistoric geography. It’s quite cool actually how a lot of them formed. Something to do with the insanely thick ice sheet that used to lay on the continent during the ice age, or something.

      I was in Bamfield, BC, this past summer and while fishing on probably the rainiest day of the year, we were treated to a show by a beautiful humpback whale, just like that. It kept popping out of the ocean all around us. It turned an otherwise miserable day into a fun bucket list day.

      The boat I worked on was parked literally in the spot on the dock that the whale surfaced under.

      I was expecting a whale, hell I even guessed humpback, I was not expecting it to that, I thought it’d be swimming by, not surface feeding! That was cool though

    6. If you know anything about harbors its most likely that itd be: the water is disgusting. Poor whale just got a mouthful of vile water

      New fear unlocked of yet another reason I won’t be swimming around a dock: nom nom’d by whales
