Yarr! It be Talk Like a Pirate Day, mateys! And I be havin' an amazing nautical story to tell!

We kept our distance because they're a protected species but two of the blighters came right up to the ship! We took pictures had a heroic battle and finally escaped! I didn't have me camera so here be an illustration:
