NYCkayaker more on those whales

[Gordon, Peter]

Now that I got the link back again and can see the pix, I agree that the splash of the whale when it comes down does seem to have little or no ripple effect on the ocean.
 
MYTH BUSTED!

OK, I left a comment about the doubts here over where I found it in the first place,

http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2008/03/04/curmudgeon-loosed/

ok, I'd like them to be real, and they don't look implausible to me scale-wise or sea-state wise -

But Derrick managed to find the source of the photos. I'd tried that too but not very hard - "Pacific Coast" as a google search is not terribly effective, "Pacific Coast photography" not much better, but Derrick chased it down &

with apologies to myself, and Will, and the other people who wanted to believe 'em...

The source looks pretty dubious itself.

It has been a fun discussion though, hasn't it?
