Sirena, Izaak and I will be at Ojo de Liebre for the next 4 days working on a special project that is very exciting.

a direct descenant of Charles Scammon will be bringing his family to the lagoon for the first time to make peace with the whales and apologize for his great great grandfather's actions. This project has been years in the making and we are really looking forward to it.

And we will be guiding some nomad groups as well on saturday and sunday so drop into the lagoon if you are in the barrio!

I must say I experienced some anxiety about going in a panga with Charles Scammon IV but after meeting him and hearing his story, it was an honour for me to accompany him on his voyage of forgiveness. Here is my favorite photo of him gazing into the eye of a calf.



I thought this was a fitting foto to take inside the mouth of a whale



we had some wonderful talks with the lancheros and they really enjoyed introducing Charles to thier cetacean friends

Fantastic! Mr. Scammon looks happy - heartwarming to have this chapter in that history.
