Meet Tic-Tac-Toe - a wild humpback whale that came up to our boat today. We're back in the mist-enshrouded wilds along the St Lawrence River and had a kind of substitute Jaws moment when this huge humpback whale appeared right in from of us.
No picture from that startled and incredibly close encounter, but a few from later when the same whale reappeared ahead of us.
This particular humpback whale has a migration of about 7,000 km. They mate and calve in the warm, shallow waters of the Caribbean and Cape Verde and then return to the St Lawrence River, where this particular lady seems to thrive.
Rude to ask about weight? Maybe a guess would be a svelte 30 tons. That's a lot of krill.
