Question, would you have gone for the ride in pitch black darkness, or would you have cut that anchor line earlier.

Pretty amazing stuff, think I would be there with the knife ready. When
I do make it out there I will be keeping a lookout for whales,but if they come looking it would be scary!

Sure would think about being dragged under, it said that there was 2 whales having turns! No one on TSP has said about it yet, just waiting to see what is said there. I know alot see the whales but this is wayyy diff.
