Humpback Whales in Tenacatita

On Monday, March 5th, 2012, we took the MAX to the airport and flew to La Paz, Baja Sur, Mexico. A week later, we were sailing north from Barra de Navidad (having crossed the Sea of Cortez aboard our friend, Patsy Verhoeven's boat, Talion). The evening we stopped in the bay of Tenacatita, I kayaked around the fleet that was anchored there and was blown away by the antics of a mother whale and her baby playing just outside the anchorage. Jeff on Journey shared the photos he took with the rest of us.

The whales spent more than half an hour, slowing making their way from the inner bay out to sea, breaching all the way!
