‘One day I was late to work because of a whale.

I was on the ferry from NJ going to NYC and a whale surfaced in the Raritan Bay near the boat. The whale was close enough that the captain turned off the engine to avoid injuring the whale. The boat bobbed in the bay for like 20 minutes while the whale hung out near by. The engine was restarted only after we drifted far enough away from the whale.’
