We are in whale watching land and the whales sometimes swim into the shipping lanes going to Saint John New Brunswick . . . .
Last year a huge Humpback got into the fishing weir and everything under the sun was done to help it get out . .
It lay around for about 4 days eating all the herring (about $40,000 worth) then quietly swam out of the weir i the exactly the same entrance way it had swum in!!!!!!!!!
It caused great excitement in the village . . .everyone came out to see and take pictures . . .
