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."

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.
My family is fortunate enough to have been able to go to Cape Cod every summer of my life, and my must-do activity every trip is going on a whale watch. I love seeing every whale that feels like gracing us with its presence, but I feel that I especially connect to the humpbacks. Being out on the ocean and surrounded by such majestic, vibrant life is always very spiritually refreshing and an important part of my year.
I just think that whales are so beautiful, big and majestic….like this piece of jewelry. I hope that one day in my life I will the have the opportunity to see a real whale up close and personal.
I was in Hawaii and was witness to a whale giving birth while other whales swam closely around protecting her. They truly are such amazing, beautiful creatures.
