Is that 'real,' or just the photo?

And where is this?

11. How inspiring.
I certainly hope you took some time to simply stand there and soak in a true wonder.

17. I was at the tip of Baja for Thanksgiving.
Got just loaded enough to go rent a WaveRunner.

In the Sea of Cortez, about 600 yards offshore, I encountered a pod of five whales that was headed back out into the Pacific.

I cruised along with them for about twenty minutes, until they had reached open water and I had to turn back.

As I veered off to the right, the point whale swam alongside me. It then shot past me, breached - completely out of the water - about twenty feet in front of me, spun to the right, and crashed back into the water.

I rode right through the splash.

My GF watched the whole thing happen from our veranda. It was far enough away from her that she thought the whale had landed on me, until she saw me break through the splash.

I hope to never forget the wonder, the awe, the good fortune of being in that moment.

Sometimes we are, indeed, fortunate.

Tom
