Though not frequently seen, blue whales swim along the Atlantic Ocean past the New Jersey coast.

While some people have nightmares of falling, or having their teeth fall out, one of my nightmares is being lost at sea by myself — not because of the vast expanse of ocean or the threat of drowning from exhaustion, but because of a silly fear that a big whale tail might breach the surface and slap my body down. In a new video that has surfaced on YouTube (pun intended), a lone kayaker captures such a breach on camera, and manages to survive — with a big smile on his face.
