Yeah! Good subject; the whaling season is just around the corner
How do you get close to the whales? What strategies do you follow
to get the closest photograph out of a whale?

Here around Monterey Bay, we can not aproach sea mammals, but they
can aproach us and that is within the law. 
The trick is to watch for a fluke, then stimate about 1 mile
in the same direction, and put your kayak somewhere over there
so that the whales emerge close to you.
