you are most welcome...as you have experienced...it is with great pleasure I share my whale experiences with you all. I hope to have more trips next season.

Ken...that clip of Snarky's tail is a classic! love the new music. If I was on that panga, I'da been sitting down and holding on...that agressive tail swiping kinda worries me. I'll tell ya a little story.

the first time a panga I was in got slapped by an aggressive whale, I begged the lanchero to leave the area. A little argument followed between us as he refused to leave. His reasoning was that if we let a whale think that she can get rid of us with a little tail slap, they will all do it. He didnt want the whale to think he was being intimidated or scared. Kinda like horses...ya dont want to show fear or they will take advantage of it.

Seeing as he was the captain, we toughed it out with the surely whale, much to my dismay....I dunno...playing the macho with a 30 ton angry whale didnt make sense to me....but ya know, it sort of does now...whales are animals and perhaps he was right about not backing down. I'm just a big chicken...I'd rather flee than chance getting hurt. It is still a controversy with us....I'm all for leaving a nasty whale alone...problem is they chase you around the lagoon. We have even had to beach the panga before to get away from an overly agressive whale.

Snarky was a whale to be careful of but didnt cause any harm...just some real adrenalin rushes and wet clothes.

Thanks, Whales of Ojo de Liebre, Shari and the wonderful group of Whale Nomads who shared a lovely time with me.

This was my third time with the Grey Whales in their Baja wintering home. Surely, one of the best.

and yes, an especially great time was the couple hours rockin' out with Baja Bucko as we cruised oh, so slowly through the lagoon estuary over to the pronghorn reserve. It was a precious time to be with another Baja Woman, sharing stories and good heart.

Thanks again, one and all.
