Thursday's whale

This whale was caught by Jacob Adam's crew, and it fulfilled Barrow's quota for the fall whale hunt.

Some fast numbers:
- the male whale measured 27 feet and a little bit
- a wildlife person, Robert, estimated the whale was 5 years old
- I tried 1 piece of freshly boiled muktuk and took about 3 bites before I couldn't eat it anymore
- Barrow whalers were allowed 15 strikes for this fall hunting season
- this one was whale #12

(Check out the guy who tries to sit on the whale. It's like America's Funniest Home Videos. Also, that flag that's waving on the boat, that's the sign of success.)
