One of the things I love about kayaking is how close it allows you to get to nature. Of course, at times that can mean getting a little too close to nature. Take for example the sea kayakers in the video below, who were paddling off the coast of Norway this past weekend when they came across a humpback whale. Just how close did they get? You’ll have to watch the video to see for yourself, but lets just say it’s closer than most of us would feel comfortable with. I also learned from this video that certain words are universal in meaning and pronunciation, no matter the language.
Tip of the hat to my friend Laurel over at Gadling for sharing this video earlier. Very nice find.
