No apologies needed. I wanted to hear the story just as much.

When I was a teenager I came upon two grey whales humpin away off La Jolla. These whales were rolling over in tandem and I got some great shots with the camera. We figured they were humpin by the roll of carpet sized protrusion trying to enter the other whale. Anyway....I didn't pay attention to the drift and we got way to close. On one of the rolls by the whale we got smacked by its pectoral fin (fluke?) Came real close to capsizing us. Scared the shit out of my buddy and we had to go in because he was freaking out. What a wuss. Did make me a little nervous the rest of the way in though.
