There are many whales right now in the channel between Isla Carmen and the peninsula. Here is one I came across a couple of hours ago less than a
mile offshore from Loreto. The malecon is in the background with the mission to the right.

Beautiful shot Bill! Were you as close as the photo appears, or is it a telephoto shot?
We were out whale watching Saturday off Pt Loma in San Diego and saw one whale heading for Baja. Very elusive, only saw one in about 2 hours of
looking.

Nice timing on that shot , water looks really nice and calm . Has it been that way much ?
bill erhardt - 2-11-2008 at 03:32 PM
ken..... The camera I used has a 10x zoom and I was using it all.
ligui...... There were three whales and they came up a number of times. I snapped about a dozen frames and this was the best one. It is flat today
between Loreto and the island, a little choppy outside. And, no it has been pretty consistently windy with a day or two each week when it lays down a
bit.

Fin Whale or Fin Back Whales are the 2nd largest. Only the Blue Whale is bigger They are also said to be the fastest of all.
