Rom's remark about looking a whale in the eye reminded me of a time
many years ago when I was on my brother in law's 30ft yacht looking
at one of the large U.S. aircraft carriers moored off of Freo. A whale and
her calf came up alongside with the mother actually resting up against
our hull and her calf resting up against her other side. They stayed there
for a couple of minutes, and all of us were able to look into her eye from a distance of about 1.5 metres. One of the most memorable experiences
of my life.
