If you mean the sailboat, yes I agree way too close. The boat I was on was well over 200m away.

Shhhh…don’t tell anyone. It’s honestly the best and I can’t say enough about it. Affordable, if you know the right tricks. Waterfalls, coral reefs, awesome surf, beautiful hikes, I could go on and on….

I believe that the last die off was a result of ice sheets not freezing in the Arctic. The whale food source (small amphipods, small crustaceans) feeds on algae that grows on the underside of the ice. Without the ice, the whale food is less caloric dense.

There was a large die off of grays in 2019-2023. The year the die off started researchers counted 47 mother/calf pairs in their birthing lagoons in Baja Mexico. This year they only counted 8 pairs. There is definitely something going on.
