Which weighs what, like 40, 50, 60 tons and the whale because it has been stuck with a harpoon, inevitably takes off swimming. And because the boat is tied to it, the whale is towing it dragging our little 19th century crew in our little boat, across the waves, going more than 20 miles an hour. Our whaling boat is essentially water skiing behind a wounded, furious, huge creature, a creature that is way bigger than them. When that creature ties out and theyre able to complete the kill. Our little crew is going to be the richer crew on the ocean tonight, they got their whale. But if something goes wrong, like the whale doesnt get tired and it runs away with them on this
