Default Whale

This seems to be a whale off Puerto Rico.

Dark shape, visible wake.

If a small boat would expect prop wash etc.

Google search indicates that whale watching popular here.

Thoughts?

I'm so jealous ;-). I have been looking for something like this since I got GE and you beat me to it. It sure looks like it is a whale, measuring about 25m (82 ft). With that size it could easily be a humpback whale.

Default Thanks

Unfortunately they denied to add the file.

Reason: no whale.

I am fairly sure it is a whale.

Took a lot of time and searching with many maybe's but not sure.

This fits the bill.

For it to be accepted as a file submission it should be a lot clearer; unfortunately that is close to impossible with a subject like this. So by putting it on the forum you did the right thing
