The Boat: Island Packet 35
You're sailing offshore alone, on autopilot and on a comfortable reach. You pad below to get some hot chocolate when a strange noise alerts you that something's up. Back on deck you find that your boat is now traveling with a fairly large pod of Sperm Whales. You count 5 or 6 adults and two calves. A large bull is making somewhat unusual motions with his flukes and he swims closer to your boat. What do you do? RB |

Democrat answer... ignore the whales, they are clearly hallucinations brought on by too much LSD back in the '60s. Everybody knows whales are extinct by now. Republican answer... rake the whale with a burst of .50 cal fire (tracers 1 in 3). After all whales are supposed to be extinct by now, dammit! DSK |

Actually I've been in this situation a number of times, though never with sperm whales. I know I've been with hunchback and minke whales, perhaps other types. I've had them cruise alongside for some time on three occasions; once, one dove under us, probably missing the keel by a few feet. A number of times I've just stood off 100 yards and watched them feed. http://www.sv-loki.com/Whales/whales.html |

Sperm whales are vegetarians. 100% wrong. They are toothed whales, feeding on fish, squid and so on. RB |

Sperm whales are carnivores that mostly eat giant squid that live on the ocean bottom at great depths. They also eat fish , octopus, and skate. In 1998, off the coast of Indonesia, 3 sperm whales were observed attacking a rare, filter feeding megamouth shark. |
