Kickin’ it 6th Grade Style

Apparently I didn’t learn anything in 6th grade. Back then our class took a big trip up to Boston to go whale watching. What we were supposed to learn on that trip is that you can see 47839 times more whales by watching “The Voyage of the Mimi” than you ever will by paying out the ass to try and see them in real life. I did not learn that lesson.

The other day I paid to be paraded around the ocean up here in search of the elusive humpback. It was a beautiful day and it was amazing out on the water, but the first three hours felt like an exact replay of that 6th grade trip; no whales. The only difference was that this time I wasn’t trying to make out with Paige Hopewell.

By the end of our 4 hours on the boat, this was the tally:

3.5 Hours of Nothing
3 Snickers Bars
2 Sodas
2 Packs of Almonds
1 Sea Lion
1 Humpback Whale (5 minutes)

So heed my warning: Never pay to go whale watching. Just rent “The Voyage of the Mimi”.

Here are pictures of the lesson learned.
