Default see a lot

Yeah...you're right about what you can see out at Jeffrey's.
I was on a 100' fishing boat with a group for a bachalor party in Sept, 2009, and for the first time in my life saw 3 things.
1. Several whales.
2. Very large school of dolphin we all saw approaching the boat from far off...jumping over and over again as dolphin do...and when they got to the boat, they stopped and checked everyone out. Sort of like they wanted to make eye contact.
3. Guy next to me had a decent size fish on(bottom fishing, party boat style)...and he said it felt really strange on the way up. As it got about 7 feet from the surface we saw a 8' plus shark chasing the fish, taking bites out of it. And, finally swallowed it whole. So, the guy was then hooked into the shark. The deck hands paid no attention, and said..."that hook up will last all of 30 seconds", and sure enough, SNAP. Amazing to see.
The 3 brushes with nature made the fact that I became as sick as I have ever been (absoltly wanted to die), worth it.
Good stuff.
