There are many different terms used to describe a whale's breach – tail breaches, chin breaches, back flop breaches, and side breaches, to name a few. Then there is my favorite of all: the spinning breach. An 80,000 pound, 45-foot long body erupts from the sea, twisting like a corkscrew while the wind peels hundreds of gallons of water down its leviathan form. It is an impressive sight to behold.
