You don't come across this often while paddling:

Geez, I might have actually jumped in my seat. I wasn't expected that kind of tap! I was thinking about a nose breaching the surface, nudging the boat a little. Wow.

Way cool. I had a Minke whale cruise 3 feet under my kayak off of Gaspe and a pod of Belugas came and checked out the underside of our Prospector in the St. Lawrence, so I can relate to the adrenaline rush, but this is a completely different level- spontaneous bowel movement scary. My brother got chased by a Beluga bull when he got a little too close to a large pod a few years back. They are gentle creatures but I reckon you shouldn't piss them off.

Pretty freaky for sure! Definitely would have had myself one of those "involuntary bowel movements" if it were me in the boat! :oops:
