A whale of a tail

I didn't take the camera out to the beach tonight because I was stupid so you'll just have to believe what I say. We had just gotten settled on the beach to watch the sunset. There were plenty of ships and small craft in the water. All of a sudden, there was a huge black animal flying through the air! Then a huge splash and moments later a huge tail coming up straight in the air. Then splash! Boom! and then all over again. There were at least two whales playing tag all across the long watery horizon. Not every jump was as high and dramatic as the first one, but they were none the less fun and fantastic. To think it usually cost $100 to be out with those huge mammels and then we got our own personal performance. Shamu loves to perform for the people in water tanks and then in the ocean, Shamu-like replicas perform for fun. I'll never forget this performance and the cost: priceless.
A correction to an earlier submission: The Cessna is only a single engine and we are scheduled to fly back to O'ahu tomorrow afternoon when the breezes are forcast for 25+ knots or maybe it's mph. No matter which I hope we make it over and don't need the barf bags.
