right whale

"voyages, travel, and change of place impart vigor." -- seneca

i never quite figured out why the right whale isn't a proper name with capitalized R but my cousin in cape cod flies whale watch to keep track of them.  they id them by markings and each has a name: bob, jim, bill, sally... this creature was sighted at the knoxville pool a week ago and wasn't spouting or grazing for krill.  last weekend's paddle was a solo run from whitebreast ramp to hwy 14 in the rain and wind.  the headwind turned into a nice following run back to the van though and even if wet it was an enjoyable addition to a week of swimming.
