I used to work on a dinner cruise ship in Hawaii. Once in a while I would work the lunch cruise and get to see the whales. They are SO awesome!! Had a couple of them one day just swimming under and around the ship. Had to shut the engines down for about an hour until they were done "playing" and left. Somewhere I have some pictures of them. One layed on it's side and swam right next to the boat. Was too cool!!
Been there and done that with shutting down the engines and drifting.
The tourists would get mad if the cruise took longer than expected because of shutting the engines down. They would ask if there was something we could do to get the whales to leave. I would usually respond with....Oh, we would pick the most obnoxious customer and toss them in. lol
Yea, I know, mean, huh?
There was always a briefing that went on about the whales. Do's and Don'ts as to what we could do and couldn't do and it was always told that if the whale approached, we HAD to shut the engines down. Some people just don't listen.......
YOU ARE HILARIOUS TERRI :lol: :lol:
