A Whale of an Update...

Okay, I'm sorry, that's a really bad pun. I just couldn't resist.

When last we left off with the saga of the wayward whales that had taken a right turn (which was a wrong turn actually) into the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento Delta more than two weeks ago on there way north up the coast, the mother and calf had made it back as far as Tiburon, only ten miles from the open ocean.

That was Tuesday evening, and everyone had put their boats away for the night, planning on meeting the pair early the next morning in hopes of escorting the pair the final few miles across the bay and through the Golden Gate.

Thing is, morning broke yesterday and the whales were nowhere to be seen. And it isn't like a pair of humpback whales can really hide in San Francisco Bay.

It's presumed that the pair of whales opted to avoid the hoopla from humanity and slipped quietly into the ocean under the cover of darkness.

Anticlimactic for us humans I suppose, but a happy ending for the whales.

God speed and north to Alaska!
