FEBRUARY 21ST 2008

WOW! WOW! WOW!

I have been sprayed by a California Gray Whale, I have touched several times a California Gray Whale, can you believe that, they were that close, there were Whales to left, Whales to the right, Whales in front and behind us AND underneath the boat. One word AWESOME!
The best of all I was NOT sick, I just enjoyed a wonderful 4 hours on a boat in the lagoon (Laguna Ojo de Liebre better known as Scammon’s Lagoon)
The Whales come here to spawn from Siberian and Alaskan waters some 10,000KM they slide majestically at some 5 – 7KM per hour before reaching the warm and protected waters of Baja, today the estimated number in the Lagoon is 800, 300 of these are babies.
Today I was lucky enough to be able to see them Mummies, Babies, and three whales mating! One female in the middle one male pushes up from underneath! So 3 Whales together splashing and rolling around this is what they are doing ….. So we were told.
We are in Guerrero Negro, Baja, Mexico. I have jumped days a little but was so excited I wanted to share, but will go back to Joshua Trees
If we do not start looking after our planet this wonderful sight will not happen. The northern seas will be so warm the Creel will not be there and the whales will die !
