A Whale of a Tale Winner
Congratulations to Elizabeth Goggins, with this winning entry:
"For my 41st birthday I talked a friend of mine into joining me in Baha, Mexico to go whale watching. He came from Washington, DC and I, the US Virgin Islands. We had heated discussions the whole way there because many wanted to turn Leguna San Ignacio, the last place on earth grey whale could give birth in peace, into a salt factory. On my birthday I was petting a grey whale and they and their babies were all around us. On the second day as he, a trained opera singer, sang our little fishing boat was surrounded by a mother and calf playing, a school of dolphin and numerous birds flying overhead. Magical, mystical day and he gave up supporting the factory."

Whales are important to me because my daughter is an active participant in the world wide effort to save whales along with dolphins from slaughter by the nations that still continue to hunt whales and dolphins or to capture them for show in certain theme parks throughtout the world.
I loove the whale tail, The Sea is in me blood. Irish and Scottish 2nd generation.. We lived for awhile in Central Calif in an unique area both dessert and forest with the Sea at our doorsteps.. for years we visited the Oceans end and watched the whales migrate passing playfully by.. I would love to win this.. xo

I am going to California for the first time in April. I am so excited! We have already booked a 3 hour Whale Watching boat trip!
One of my best memories when it comes to whales was when I was 18 living in the Philippines with my Father who was a E-9 Master Chief Master Diver ..it was Subic Bay..and the water there was wonderful..we use to dive the reefs all the time…one day we were out diving and a 60 foot Whale Shark came into the bay…we had the opportunity to swim along side it and touch this gentle giant which only feeds on plankton…it was truely a once in a lifetime event.
