whales, sun, waves

wow. what can I say, we are so in love (again) with Baja. Had a spectacular time with the boys, no issues with safety at all. We spent the first night about 1.5 hours north of Guerro Negro on a remote stretch of rocky coastline, then cruised south to the secret spot #1. where Kevin got some great waves and for the first time maybe in the entire history of the area, there was almost no wind... the pix are from the "kitchen" watching K surf... then south to Scammons Lagoon where we took a panga out with the boys and 5 other folks to see some grays.... we saw a few, like maybe 200... there are currently 2000 in the lagoon as of last weeks count. Spouts everywhere, spyhopping (they are longer than it is deep, so really they just stand on their tails and look around), some mellow breaches (again, shallow 30-40ft deep water)... mamas, babies, grandmas and mating trios, even saw pink floyd which was really crazy. Then I got to take a panga out by myself for round two. This pic. was taken by the pangadero Rafael who is my new bff. Amazing connecting with these gentle and powerful creatures like that. From there, North to secret spot #2. a cute little sandy beach surf spot with friendly co-campers and a few kids to play with, and then home. We'll be going back again for this next year, so great!
