This is a true story of Humphrey, the humpback whale, who was stranded in San Francisco Bay. Through the efforts of many, he was finally rescued and allowed to return to the open sea.

rose may be able to remember more about this than me,
but about a year or so ago, a whale kept hanging around
one of the bays up along the B.C. coast. The RCMP
and natural resources people wanted to try to relocate
it to see if they could get it to join a pod - i think
it was a whale believed to have separated from
its original pod.
However, the native people said the whale was the
spirit of someone recently deceased -- maybe the chief
of the community. negotiations went on for quite some
time as the native people wanted to let the whale stay
where it was. meanwhile, there was a lot of pressure
to relocate it as it was near in shipping lane or a
busy coastal route.
i can't recall if i ever heard the outcome.
