Whale Song

06 February 2014 | La Cruz anchorage
Vanessa
I just needed to add a whale update! Last night, last light of dusk, we heard some noises off our port, and looked out to see a whale in the anchorage, between us and another boat. It surfaced, but did not come very far out of the water (as we are pretty shallow compared to their usual depths!). We watched it move through the anchorage a bit before it went back down. Later after Ron went to bed, maybe about 10:00 pm, I heard it through the hull of the boat. It was the coolest thing I had ever heard! It was a beautiful whale song, and then another one responded. Possibly two but it was hard to hear. Such a wonderful experience - I had to go wake Ron up to let him know! We had heard that humpback whales sometimes can be heard in the Bay, but this was a first for me!

About:
We have been living aboard for 14+ years in San Francisco Bay, but we are now preparing for an extended voyage in 2013 - to anywhere warmer than here! Our "crew" also consists of our two cats, Jackson and Samantha, a brother and sister pair of mutts we rescued from the SPCA about 4 years ago. [...]
Extra: Now living inland in Mexico and loving tierra firma again. Never regretted our sailing life though!

Piedras y Pajaros is the name of this Stones and Birds Park. I love this little place, right in the middle of a block of small stores, tiny restaurants, and boarded up or fenced off properties.

Due to our old refrigeration failure, we were forced to remove and replace the refrigeration which, as they say on a boat, led to a complete remodel.
