Peaceful Encounter with Humpback Whales

We went out for a morning paddle in the sea of Cortez. There were pairs of mother/baby whales all around we were hoping to see from a closer distance than shore. We paddled out and then just sat for a few moments, scanning the vastness of the ocean for a glimpse at these gentle creatures we had been marveling for months from shore. Then… when I looked down, I saw a huge white fin beneath us, and knew they were just below. Awe, marvel, excitement, anticipation AND fear all lived within me at once as we sat waiting to see what would happen next. Watch to find out and let me know what you thought in the captions. This moment was one of the happiest of my entire year. A love for humpback whales washed over me in a way I’ll never forget. They were as curious about us as we were about them, and so gentle. #whale #whalewatching #whalelover #ocean #oceantherapy #oceanlife #animalencounter #wildlife #wildlifeplanet #wildlifeaddicts #humpbackwhale #momentofbliss #earthfocus #outsideisthebestside #travelmexico #travelmore #travelmoments #mexicomagico #mexico🇲🇽
