Calypso...



100 years after his birth, the world remembers Jacques Cousteau...he was a French Naval officer, explorer, ecologist, filmmaker, innovator, scientist, photographer, author and researcher.

Growing up I literally spent hours watching his television specials. His shared his love of the oceans and the creatures who dwell there with the world. I daresay he is the reason that one of THE most breathtaking experiences I have ever had was watching a mother whale and her calf from the bow of a ship off the coast of Massachusetts.

Merci Monsieur Cousteau...

By the way, for those who may not know...the name of his ship was Calypso...(a sea nymph from Homer's Odyssey)
