One day I'll experience that. It must be one of those "closest to God" moments in a person's life.

My wife and I were doing a Kayaking excursion off the northern tip of Vancover Island two years ago. Our group came across a pod of orca whales. There were about 12 of them together and they surfaced all around us. I looked over the side of my kayak and saw one swimming underneath our boat--deep, about 30 feet or so. It surfaced about 40 meters to our right. The sound of it blowing air out of its hole was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced in the wild.
