I've a whale of tale to tell you, lads
A whale of tale or two
About lobsters, fish, and the girl he loves
On nights like this with the whales offshore....

So...whales are mating off the coast of Maine and Kendall is going to row out there to be a part of it?

Now, a common old female sperm whale going to average 36 feet long and weigh about 15 short tons (14,000 kg.). Kendall is probably about 6 feet long at the most and weights in at probably 180 pounds or so (that's a guess). That means he's a bit short for the lady and is certainly not in her weight class. When you figure that she can dive to more than 5,000 feet and stay down there for an hour or more and Kendall is probably hard put to dive to 10 feet and stay down for a couple minutes -- well, I think it's unlikely that the Cap'n is going to row out and mess around.

Not that he couldn't....
