Gary Sprinkle aired video he and videographer Sonny Ahuna captured with researchers off Lanai of a humpback whale mother caring for her calf as it died.
The compeling story he told has captured a lot of attention. Here is a link to the video:

The story and video has brought about a lot of attention. I’ve received e-mails wanting to know what happened. I have a friend who got married on Saturday and she leaves for her honeymoon to Australia and New Zealand on Tuesday and she wants to know about the whales.
Someone called wanting to know where it is on the site. (It took a little time to load it because I couldn’t find the tape.)
I spoke with Sonny about the shoot. It was seven hours on the boat without a tripod. That’s a lot of work, but he said it was an incredible experience.
Stay tuned. Gary shows more of what they found during the researchers time off Lanai all week.
