the leviathans gather

This story about 50 right whales (an eighth of the world's total population of 400 right whales) gathering south of Nantucket made me think again of the story on the beer label sovay dreamed about.

I mean, maybe they, like so many humans, simply like Nantucket. Possibly it's a whale vacation spot. But since Nantucket was home to [some of] the whalers that put them on the verge of extinction, it seems more likely that they're gathered to issue imprecations.

Or maybe they're caucusing. Hopefully...
