Actually this story is real &#8211; it&#8217;s a pic of a southern right whale accidentally breeching onto a sailboat in Capetown South Africa. I actually think that it was jealous and was wanting to get in on the learn to sail action. Everyone&#8217;s doing it. Start with the skipper course at http://www.nauticed.org/courses/view/skipper
