Humpbacks in Los Barriles

Just a few more reasons why we love Baja so Much:spingrin:

Started the day out on crystal clear calm water on Congo's Sport Fishing Boats


It didnt take long before we came up on a mother humpback and a few calves


After diving real deep


The baby came rocketing towards the surface and cleared the water by a good 10 feet!!:o


Had a fantastic lunch at the Giggling Marlin restaurant with one of those beautiful views you can only get in Baja


And finished the day with one of the largest schools of Mobulas we've seen yet.

You can see two jumping out of the water in between our boats

So in about 5 hours on the water. We saw 3 humpbacks, a group of dolphin, a few sea lions, a marlin, a few sharks, a big school of yellow fin, thousands of Mobula, and had one of those IS THIS FOR REAL days on the water.

Man do I love Baja

Wow, now THOSE are spectacular ballena pictures...simply amazing...you must have very good karma.

Yeah, I'm starting to think we're pretty lucky when it comes to the photos, because you know that it's all just being int he right place at the right time.

But I'm starting to think that being in Baja has more chances of the RIGHT PLACE...and any time before Happy Hour is the right time, once Happy Hour starts, it all goes down hill:saint:

Your pictures are beautiful, they made me cry. We have a lot in El Cardinal, and have put our plans to build on hold for now. I am sad. I really miss Baja.
keep up the good work. We love it.
