Simon Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 They should have been watching for whales instead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I flip the bird for other driver’s to watch all of the time. It’s probably not a very safe thing to do. However back to the point of the thread, what a bizarre situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Did a couple whale watching trips decades ago out of Provincetown, Massachusetts. The whales toyed with the boat. Brushing and bumping under it unseen and then surfacing along the sides, seemingly, nudging it along, kind of directing the boat. They made the boat seem smaller than it was. They splashed us with their fins and tails, spun up out of the water twisting and making huge splashes, some easily rocking the boat. There were near two dozen whales. Whales are huge, powerful, scary. Never go bird watching on a boat in whale territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
