Sorry for another non-political story but this is the coolest story I have seen lately. I kayaked in Namibia for a few hours with a southern right whale who loved playing games with the kayaks and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. This guy though actually was lifted up by the whale! I was dreaming of such a thing in my kayak but I had no such luck.
All of a sudden I just felt, wow, this huge noise and bump," said Vamvas, "and it lifted my board up. I'm looking down, and there's just swirling water and I see barnacles on the back of the whale. I'm used to dolphins. This was different. It was huge."
