\nguide her back to the ocean. Grateful for their kindness, Wendy returned each
\nyear from Antarctica to the same cove where she had been rescued, often with
\nher calves by her side. Her visits became such a popular spectacle that it inspired
\nthe creation of the annual Hermanus Whale Festival, one of the world\u2019s premier
\nwhale watching events.<\/p>\n
