Brian Pickell brought his band to the Saline Celtic Festival in July 2003. Worried that he might ask me if I'd written any tunes since the last time I'd seen him, I sat down and wrote this one. It was a bit of a struggle, but I'm pleased with it now.

This name also refers to the whale-watching tour. As we came back (about the same place we saw the three whales on the way out) a gust of wind took my hat right off my head and deposited it in the ocean. That's when I learned the importance of putting sunscreen on the top of my head even when I planned on wearing a hat.
