M. thinks instead of stubbornly returning to First Beach where I have already several times not seen them this season, next time I should go further down the coast to the place near Ruby Beach where you can pull off the highway on a bluff and look out over the water from above. Makes sense; it's just that it's further to drive only to end up not seeing Cetacea. Also I could try doing it in better weather.
Not that it's altogether clear how the presence or absence of 30-ton animals could be subtle. At least if I'm pulled off the highway on a bluff I will be out of the weather, and even if its raining I can sit reading a book between stints of scanning for spouts and bits of whale backs.

Keep an eye out for "my" whales -- the mamas and babies and escorts and buddies I saw when I was down Baja way, this March, 2008. I watched and admired and stroked some of them while I was at the San Ignacio Lagoon preserve...so beautiful and gentle and well, profound. Hope they all make it to their feeding grounds up North.
Thanks for your fine blog!
