Guerrero Negro... (dial up warning)

6. Those were great!

I sometimes see them (gray whales like these) very close to shore around the Bodega Bay area here in northern California, but have always wanted to see the breeding lagoons down south. And to get so close in such a little boat, amazing.

I worry about their future, climate change is having a dramatic effect on phytoplankton, which then means less of the critters the gray whales eat. There do seem to be a lot of them out there, so they're probably ok, so far at least.

Thanks for the pix and the write-up, they put us readers right in the story (we wish).
