Oh, really? It sound like a great opportunity for some small business entrepreneur to start up with an occasionally chartered boat, a full-time website and some marketing skill to tap into the foreign tourist market if there's no luck stimulating domestic demand. |

| You're right, man. Those whales are just waiting to be watched, and as Korea becomes more -I dunno- entertainment oriented/free time oriented (two day weekends, five day workweek) those whales are just waiting to be milked for cash. It'd be a nice life zipping folks around in a zodiac showing them the whales wearing a coonskin cap. |

It's possible? Did you read the thread? What are they, if not whales, mutant fish? |

That's cool. How long a ride is that? |

Yeah I breezed through the thread and got the gist of it. They're probably whales and not what we commonly call dolphins. I know dolphins are whales. |

You ever eaten whale? |
I have- muktuk (whale blubber) and Eskimo Ice Cream- whipped whale fat with wild artic blueberries and sugar. Yum.
It truly a subsistence diet- tastes really ghastly. |
