A few years ago, my oldest daughter planned a family cruise to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico . One of the highlights of the trip was particpating in a whale watch.
The boat was large and stable, but we still freaked out when we saw these gigantic mammals peaking out of the water.
My husband showed me this video on You Tube from the Great Whale Conservancy (skip to 2:00). It is a clip of a humpback whale that was tangled in a fishing net in the Sea of Cortez. A few people spent hours trying to free him from the mess. They succeeded and the whale gave them a show for an hour.
The sound of the whale reminded me of the fish named "Dory" from the Disney movie, "Finding Nemo", who bragged that she spoke "whale".
I can't imagine the feeling of seeing the whale jumping and dancing like they did on this rescue. That whale deserves a Tony Award for his performance on the stage of the Sea of Cortez. The rescuers deserve a medal for bravery for getting the job done!
