What I expect when we steam into Cabo is huge Cruise Ships, Pirate Ships that have been converted to floating party bars, extravegant yachts and sail boats complete with a Disney Style light show. Luckily we only got a little of that stuff today, but we did get something far better. First, while we were leaving the marina we were greated right off the bat by a couple of breaching hump backs. Of course my fine photo skills produced nothing but splashes and empty pictures. I’m going to start bugging some of the photo geeks on board for some tips. After that we ran into more humpbacks, one of which proceeded to breech for 20 minutes solid in front of us. Still……no good pictures.
After the whales, it was starting to get dark, real dark. A huge bunch of clouds rolled up and an insane lightning storm started over head. It was only going from cloud to cloud, but it lit up everything for hundreds of miles. After the show, I decided it was one of the best thunderstorms I’ve ever seen. I did, however, miraculously end up taking a few pretty good pictures of this. I won’t let it go to my head.
Now we are off to the Sea of Cortez. I’m ready. I miss it.
