still harping on the daddy issues, but now we're seeing Jay and how he hasn't really done all that well. I befriended a bunch of sperm whale experts—then diving experts, then jellyfish experts, and so on—and spent months simply learning everything I could about what it’s like inside these behemoths.Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool’s errand—to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach.
