When we named our Boston whaler Vaquita, everyone including our partner said...little cow. why would you name a boat that?
Well my friends this is why. Since whale, porpoises, dolphins(cetaceans) are all related, we thought that it was appropriate and since these poor
creatures are rapidly disappearing, it has given us cause to explain this to everyone in the hopes of raising awareness of their plight.

bajajudy, Thank you for sharing the Vaquito information.El Comadante Loco - 7-7-2009 at 06:43 PM
I am glad that you are raising awareness of the rare and endangered Vaquita of the northern Mar de Cortez.. However, you stated that you named you
boat Vaquito, perhaps just a typo. However if you meant Vaquito I can respect that..David K - 7-7-2009 at 06:54 PM
"... everyone including our partner said...little cow. why would you name a boat that?"
A little 'male cow'? Wouldn't that be a 'little bull'... Torrito?

Oh, regardless of your boat's name Judy, thanks for the links... real cool!Natalie Ann - 7-7-2009 at 08:11 PM
Just last week my 7 year old granddaughter was educating me on the plight of the vaquita. She had studied about it in summer camp.
Thanks for the tip on the documentary, Judy. Skyla and I will keep an eye open for it's premier.

Perhaps she was calling you viejita .... and you misunderstood .....Natalie Ann - 7-8-2009 at 08:30 AM
You might be right, Igor. She'd just finished 'helping' carry in the groceries. She took all the heavy stuff so I wouldn't "hurt" myself.

loved the videos...great idea to utilize the baby vaquita with a kids voice to educate the kids...they are the ones who hopefully can begin to change
things in the future....the little guys death wasnt in vain.bajajudy - 7-10-2009 at 07:29 AM
