A friendly moment between my husband and the whale
This photo was taken 1992 so it's not a good photo but the experience was an amazing memory how this whale befriended us.
History: The whales leave their feeding waters off the shores of Alaska at the end of the summer and reappear off the coast of Mexico’s Baja peninsula sometime during November each year. They arrive here to form courtship groups for mating or to bear the calves which were conceived the year before. When the mating and births are complete, and the temperatures in the northern hemisphere begin to rise, the whales return to the food-rich Alaskan waters pregnant, or with their newly born calves around mid March. https://www.mexperience.com/travel/outdoors/whale-watching-in-mexico/
We have them here as from spring for about 4 months for the same reason. Last year they came too close to the boat that I could not get a decent shot. Some passengers also reached out towards them. Such an amazing experience that you had so long ago.
