Thanks. I always wondered what the proper spelling was.

yitwail - No problem. My apologies for not noticing the obvious signs of intelligence. Very Happy

Farmerman - That is so unbelievably awesome. I'm not sure I could have kept myself on the boat. I love seeing nature up close, and the closest I've been to your experience was watching the dolphins jump and play one morning from the balcony of a hotel.

Dont worry about keeping in the boat. The water in the Cabot strait is verrry cold.

Gee whiz! People can be such creeps! Someone needs to stop them and give the little guy some room to find his way out.

whale still goofin around in the muddy ol Delaware. He could hang out for weeks if the gizzard shad and American shad runs are high this year. I hope he comes to his senses and gets the heck out of there before boating season. Hell be scarred by all the props

Heres a URL they had in the Philly paper. Its about the beluga BELUGA STEWARDSHIP PROJECT

It turns out that one of the whales, they named POCO, was seen swimming around in Passamaquoddy near Deer Island last summer and would slide right up to the divers who were working on aquaculture nets. Apparently they are quite amused by all the bubbles from scuba tanks

Propeller? Prophetic words:

The beluga whale spotted Tuesday roaming the Delaware River near Trenton, N.J., resurfaced Thursday a few miles downriver.
The 12-foot animal that has been cruising the famed waterway crossed by George Washington on Christmas night in 1776 has been identified by Canadian whale researcher Cathy Kinsman as a specimen first documented near the St. Lawrence River in 1986, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Helis, whose name is a play on the French word for propeller -- helice -- appears to be healthy despite being more than 1,000 miles from home.
"He's way out of range, so that's abnormal -- but it doesn't mean there's anything wrong physically or mentally with the animal," said Larry Dunn, a beluga specialist with Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. "If he's robust and fat and happy, there are fewer concerns."
The whale may have been in the river for as long as 10 days, possibly lured up the Delaware by the annual shad run. Since Tuesday, it has been spotted a number of times in the short stretch of river between Trenton and Beverly, near Burlington City.
Trenton is the head of navigation for ships and presumably for whales.

Helis was identified by a scar along his dorsal ridge which was probably caused by a propeller when he was younger.
