Every Tail Tells A Story

I was recently out with Captain Joseph Stagnaro and the crew on Sanctuary Cruises Whale Watching. We found a mother and calf pair of humpback whales. Earlier this week, Orcas were on the hunt in Monterey Bay and Captain Joey shared this wonder of nature with a lucky group that day.

I included one of my orca photos from a few years ago as a tribute to the apex predator. The little humpback whale calf had only half a tail fluke. Looks like it may have had a terrifying day as it left the calving grounds of Mexico but Mom came to the rescue. She may have fended off an orca pod, watched the painful strike of a vessel or the entanglement of line on her little calf’s tail fluke. But a horrible day had a positive outcome. The little calf survived and is now feeding in Monterey Bay. Every tail reveals a story. I just submitted these tail fluke photos to www.happywhale.com with hopes of learning more of about their journey. Citizen science in real time.

We’ve chartered Sanctuary Cruises for a private charter on June 21st. Hope to see you on the water at www.bluewaterventures.org
