302 Monday the 6th--I spent about 2 and a half or 3 afternoon hours with her. The first surprise, her skin is not a teenager's--it is more like mine, 65 years old and too much time in the sun! I was in the primary spot on her left holding by dorsal and pectoral fins and lifting the pectoral when she breathed to keep the blowhole out of the water. Small fact-the blowhole is offset a little to the left, or port side. I needed to lift a bit when she breathed, which was around 5 times in 5 minutes. Lots of small indentations, variations, growths, gouges, etc. I noticed that the side and top of her head appeared to have some underskin roughness--little rises and falls.
Her breathing seemed strong, rather powerful exhalation and inhalation, she tended to sink when breathing out, just one of the similarities among us air breathers. I wonder how powerful her breathing will be when healthy.
As I left, I could smell the whale on my suit and towel--I liked it!! I guess it was a combo of fresh Herring odor and whale snot--I tried to find it on my towel the next day but it was back to smelling like a towel--too bad!
She is very easy to hold, but you must be on your guard at all times. She is a little rodeo girl and will take off at no warning.
