Beautiful show Ben! I have fond childhood memories of that NG issue arriving and spinning the included flexi disc.

Very cool Scott. The flex disc is an interesting format, perhaps an idea for a future show

Yups. We got to see Right Whales (i think they were? maybe humpbacks? ) off a sailing guide boat off Grand Manan Isle NB. They were basically having a big ol' orgy -- 1 female and many randy males. They were literally cruising right under the boat, within feet. Like, RIGHT THERE! Also dolphins, Minke whales, harbour seals, and more on Gaspe on kayaks -- also VERY up close , extremely curious .... until the powered tour boats arrived, and then all just vanished. COOL!!!!!!
