Sperm Whales!

Based on my son Matt's assessment of the dorsal fins and color of the whales, he believed the whales were not Pilot, but perhaps Sperm whales. And those of you who know my Matt, he knows his fish (and mammals). So I sent photos to the Marine Mammal Conservancy, and indeed, they confirmed that they were great Sperm Whales. Even more exciting to me, because, although he was not white, he was Moby Dick to me! And, this is no fish story - it happened! Right in the Florida Keys.
