Oh an what a whale it is! A lovely Sperm Whale! In its southern habitat, apparently. And speaking of whales and whaling, and since this (back) story is crawling along, I will take the time to recommend a movie- The Heart of the Sea, starring Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and directed by Ron Howard. It’s the story of what led up to the sinking of the Essex at the hand (so to speak) of Moby Dick (who did not have a name at that point) and what happened to the crew, who spent 90 days afterward in open boats trying to find land… The Herman Melville character drives the movie, convincing the surviving cabin boy, now an older man, to tell the tale so he could adapt it for his famous novel… “Call me Ishmael…” 4 out of 5 stars…
