1. This brought tears to my eyes. A breaching Humpback whale is the most magnificent

sight these old eyes of mine have ever beheld. My husband & I used to go to Maui at least every other winter before his Type I DM overtook him, just to see those magnificent creatures. I will never, ever forget experiencing the feeling of hearing a Humpback singing while I was snorkeling, actually feeling the song reverberate in my chest, or the sight of a female Humpback swimming up to, then parking herself under our Zodiac while 2 males fought over her 100 feet away from us. How anyone on this earth can hunt and kill these awesome beings is beyond me and something I will never, ever understand--or forgive. I boycott all products from countries that engage in commercial whaling--and the Japanese ruse of "scientific whaling" is a sick joke.
