Good for you. I was hoping you would see one. The side view shows its length. What a thrill for you. I was hoping to see some posts about the trip today. How close were you to get such a photo? The small dorsal fin gives it away. When looking at the photo in the original size, you can just about make out the scars from the Cookie Cutter Sharks (which also can be seen on elephant seals). Really neat photo, Mike. Did you get to see the blow holes operate & put up about a 12 m spray?
