Yet last night while I was chasing this behemoth as it made its way through the Boston Harbor waterways I found myself giddy with excitement since I'd never seen anything like this. On a side note,it was very exciting too: the reporter and I were stopped six times by different police officers. We also had the US Coast Guard helicopter and vessel spotlights put on us.
