Whale watching/harrasing

We went on a tour, a 3hr drive to the Pacific side of Baja to a lagoon to see the whales and their calves that they recently birthed. Here are the pics, I have mixed feeling about this as even though we were able to get close to the mothers and their calf, I couldn't help but feel that we were bothering them. At times , it seemed that we were between the mother and the calf in our small boat which usually in the animal world is a huge No No. They didn't tip any boat over and our guide assured us that all was OK. It was amazing to be so close to such a large and different kind of animal, I must say. It definately widenes your view on the wildlife on this planet. You don't see these 35ft beings at Sea World....thank God for that.
