Well that was exciting. Them folks in that kayak probably had enough whale watching for the day.

I hope the kayak didn’t bruise the whale.

They are magnificent creatures and viewed from a distance I think is great ....but I personally would get no thrill of mulling around a pod in a little plastic cigar...I respect nature too much to challenge it openly ...but that’s just me. The thrill seekers got a thrill I would say.

If you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

I’d think it should be obvious that you should stay a bit away from a 40 ton wild animal

Next, these people will be communing with bears on Kodiak Island.

They won’t learn.

It’s great that there are people who are watching the whales, but putting yourself in the middle of their feeding area is just plain stupid.

Usually you’ll get a sign they are about to breach by the way they hunt for their food with the release of air in circular fashion.

The kayakers were obviously oblivious to this sign.

That one was one of Seinfeld’s best scenes. I still laugh hilariously at it.

Potential Darwin Award finalists. Next up: free-climbing El Capitan, then hang-gliding from Everest’s peak.

HO, HO, HO, HO LEE...Shiite!

ROTFLMAO!!!

I’m only 30 minutes from there and wish I could have seen this in person.

But, NOAA will fine them for interfering with wild life in a national sanctuary.
