Sam And Saundra’s Second Time Around – Part 29

Mexico

11/1/10-3/1/11 – Yuma Break – Cabo- Whale Watching and Dolphin kissing.

Example

We signed up for a Whale Watching Tour and enjoyed it immensely.  The guide was an Australian woman named Beth, who spoke Spanish fluently.  She was extremely knowledgeable about all marine life, especially the whales.  This is the perfect time of year to whale watch in Cabo, since many are there to either birth their young or to breed.  It takes a year of pregnancy, so those here for breeding should be back next year to birth.  Life cycle and all that.  We saw them.  Lots of them.  Most not too close to the boat and the ones that were close. were not within camera shot since the boat sat down in the water and was full of other people who wanted to take pictures.  We saw a few Humpback and the rest were Gray. One of the best whale watching tours we have been on, if we do not include Valdez.

The same company had a Swim With The Dolphins adventure and we signed up.  The salt water tank is a huge affair located right on the wharf area.  Even so, you have to know where to look, as the entrance to the non-sea side tank is from the top of the tank, about a floor above sea level.  We opted for the Dolphin Encounter and the 45-minute adventure was again amazing.  Our dolphin made spectacular jumps, splashing a lot, but her best ‘act was to allow us to interact with her. We touched her, talked to her, signed to her and hugged her. In return, she kissed us and in general showed off while the trainer trained us on her.  The interaction with the dolphin renewed our sense of wonder regarding the intelligence that can be found in the sea.
